Intimate Post-Park Concerts
Happening Across Downtown VancouverVancouver, BC–SKOOKUM festival organizers are pleased to announce SKOOKUM After Dark, an intimate concert series that will continue where the day left off. The three-day long celebration of music, food and art is not limited to Stanley Park – SKOOKUM After Dark will feature a variety of artists performing at a number of unique Vancouver venues including the Rickshaw, The Railway Stage & Beer Café and The Imperial.
“SKOOKUM After Dark adds another component to the SKOOKUM music experience,” says Paul Runnals, SKOOKUM Festival Director. “These smaller venues provide a different showcase environment for music – one that would appeal to festival attendees looking for a unique and intimate performance from an artist.”
