Pender Harbor Blues Festival ramps up summer with three nights of raw, rootsy blues across cozy venues – Community Hall, the Royal Canadian Legion, and the School of Music. From Brent Parkin’s swing-soaked riffs to Brickhouse’s gritty grooves, you’ll swap tips on snagging the best waterfront picnic spot and learn how to keep your gear sand-free (hint: a silicone zip pouch works wonders). It’s laid-back West Coast vibes with just enough insider banter to make you feel like a local.
