About the Apple Festival

Attracting over 15,000 people in years when the weather is good, the annual UBC Apple Festival takes place on the weekend after Thanksgiving (or at least it does in years when there isn’t a pandemic!!!).

The two-day event usually runs from 11 am to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Entertainment includes child-friendly shows, dancing and all kinds of music. Furthermore, there are dozens of apples to sample and buy and even apple trees for sale. All proceeds go to UBC Botanical Garden.

Tim will be playing two sets between 5 and 7 pm. Townsite Brewing is a coastal craft brewery at the tip of the Sunshine Coast on the shores of the Salish sea. “We have a little something for everyone: Belgian inspired beers for BC style adventures; a self guided brewery museum housed in our tasting room; a patio for people watching; a large, family and pet friendly beer garden for you to bring a picnic and sample our products; several neighbourhood food partners with easy pick up and delivery options; a true community space.”

“Come connect with other dancers and musicians at this first-of-its-kind (in the Lower Mainland) FREE outdoor contra dance! All level of dancers are welcome to swing to the music of a community open band. Also featuring the debut of a Cape Breton Inverness dance set! Hope to see you there!”

What is a Contra Dance?
Similar to square dancing, contra dancing is a social dance that is popular around North America. Lines of couples perform simple footwork patterns, walking steps, and twirls to a live band playing Celtic, French Canadian, and American music. A dance caller calls out the pattern of the dance for the dancers to follow, so each dance is new and fun.

Tim Readman: guitar and vocals, Prairie Wolfe: fiddle and vocals, Denis Franck: percussion.
