The Intertidal Music Festival is planned for Saturday July 15th and ties both the nation's 150th birthday and 150 years of salmon canning in British Columbia together.
Festival organizers recently issued a call for participants for the mid summer event and from those applications have put together a program that will feature over a dozen bands and artists from both the Northwest and Lower Mainland.
The day long event will feature two large performance stages and one smaller one for the line up of performers. Planners anticipate that the event could draw over 1,000 guests out to the Port Edward site to take in the day's musical themes.
The line up for the festival looks as follows:
Humans
The Racket
Woodshed Supply Company
The Surfin Dudes
Just Showed Up
Sarah & Frances & Friends
Men Who Listen
Simbiyez Wilson
Replica
Swilly
The Brazen Harlots
Hot Flash
Chad-e-ose
Chris Williams
Noel Lenaghan
Music Works Kids Junior Rock Band
In addition to the music, the Cannery Cafe will be serving up its famous menu and three of Prince Rupert's growing food truck cuisine options will be on site as well.
Prince Rupert's Wheelhouse Brewery will also be introducing their Canada-150 Red Ale at the festival and organizers have numerous prizes and exciting giveaways planned for festival goers.
Early bird tickets for the event are on sale until June 15th.
Ticket prices range from a 15 dollar early bird youth price to 75 dollars for a family package and are available through the Event Brite website which is promoting the Festival.
With the anticipation of a large crowd in attendance for the event, there will be no parking available at the cannery site on July 15th, with shuttle buses available from a staging area in Port Edward throughout the day.
Updates on festival progress and other notes from the North Pacific Cannery Historical Site can be reviewed from the Historical Site's Facebook page.
