Introduction
When I first discovered the Vancouver Folk Music Festival during 2000, which marked the 23rd year of the celebration of music and dance at Vancouver's Jericho beach. This Vancouver Folk Music Scrapbook features my personal images and memories of the past six years at the festival.
Enjoy!
Be sure to stop back often as this is an ongoing project.

With partial proceeds going to support the Festival, this is one of the tastiest ways of helping us while also supporting fiar trade coffee growers. Give it as gifts to family and friends or make it your workplace coffee. Every bean counts.
- Fundraise With Friends - Think of having a house concert, a clothes swap, a Folk Music Festival reunion in winter - just use your imagination, raise good old money and have fun. There will be special acknowledgements next year for those who go the extra mile.
- Create New Partnerships - Encourage your company or organization to become a Festival Partner and contribute to the Festival as part of its outreach and community-building.
