Parade, ethnic events

featured at Folkfest

NORTH VANCOUVER’S
Folkfest ’87 kicks off this
weekend with flair as a
variety of bands and ethnic
dancers bring Centennial
Theatre alive with exotic
flavor.

Running June 27 to 30, the
event has something for everyone
— music, dancers, window
displays, crafts and a food fair. All
of the Folkfest events are free.

Folkfest chairman and North
Vancouver City Ald. Stella Jo
Dean explained that the free ad-
mission programs contribute to in-
ternational understanding as they
provide an opportunity to easily
appreciate the cultures of different
lands.

Folkfest events open with a
parade of decorated cars, floats,
bands and, of course, majorettes.
Rain or shine, the parade is slated
to leave Victoria Park at 10:30
a.m. Saturday and moves up
Lonsdale to the Rec Centre.

June 27 evening performances
will offer a touch of the olde
Scotland when Nann_ Wilson’s
Scottish dance troupe jigs up a
storm,
Tiganeasca International Folk
Dancers and the Act I, Scene I
theatre company’s show.

Laughter is the order of the
evening when Act I, Scene I puts
on the classic Alan Ayckbourn
comedy Between Mouthfuls.

Ethnic, traditional and contem-
porary dance is lined up for Sun-
day, June 28; guitar player David
Cooper will provide a musical
change from the dancing.

The pace takes a turn to the
musical Monday, June 29, as the
North Vancouver Youth Band, the
North Shore Chamber Music
Society and the Weavers Square
Dance Club present an evening of
entertainment in the tradition of
the Folkfest.

Tuesday, June 30, will have
songs and dances from the Music
