Up and coming stars emblaze the stages this year as we celebrate the Save on Foods 12th street music festival in New Westminster July 26 2015

Juno award nominee for best blues album of the year, James Buddy Rogers will perform on the Nanaimo St stage (12:30pm) followed by Canadian Harmonica player of the year, Harpdog Brown (2:30-4:00). Starting off the day will be local politico Chuck Puchmayr and the Blue Express.

On the Edinburgh street stage we have the Russian blues guitar sensation Arson Shomakhov along with popular children’s entertainer IshdaFish.

Java Jazz will host a stage at Hamilton Street and present a nonstop jazz, hip-hop and dance party throughout the day.

At the 10th Avenue stage you may swing to your hearts content with the Royal City Swing who will feature Deanna Knight and the Hot Club of Mars.

This has truly become one of the premier free family festivals in the Lower Mainland, and continues to grow in quality and interactivity for all. Children’s entertainer IshdaFish, a petting zoo, interactive crafts with the New Westminster Arts Council and Glembooke day care, fire and police command centre tours and many many vendors.

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of save on foods, media sponsorship of the Royal city Record along with the City of New Westminster, this will truly be, as Ed Sullivan use to say, “a really big show”.

This year a refreshing adult garden sponsored by the local success stories Steel and Oak brewery and Pacific Breeze Winery.

Re-Up BBQ’s 3rd annual Labour Day BBQ is taking place at River Market in New Westminster.

The party features BBQ, a diverse bar, DJs, circus performances, party games and more! This year, the proceeds from the bar (and 3 amazing meat draws) will be donated to City Councillor Chuck Puchmayr’s charity: A Beef With Hunger.This organization raises natural, grass-fed cattle for the food bank and local recovery houses in New West. Help us make some money for a good cause while you have one last chance to spoil yourself this summer!

A BEEF WITH HUNGER

A Beef with Hunger Society raises beef and purchases farmed goods that are then donated to the food bank and non-profit meal providers including community schools.

Below are some pictures of A Beef With Hunger livestock. The cows are named Food 1 and Food 2 (left), Food 3 and Food 4 (middle)–we are up to Food 25! All Society meat is for non-profit meal providers and the HIV and Hepatitis C Food Bank.

Happy, Healthy and Grass Fed at A Beef With Hunger Charity Farm Society 🙂
