The East Van Summer Jam is a small music and sports festival located in the Vancouver downtown east side. Created as a non-profit organization to provide music instruments and instruction to under-priviledged children the one day festival features a variety of musical acts and activities geared towards celebrating the East Vancouver neighbourhood. In it’s inaugral year I was responsible for all the technical aspects of running the festival working closely with Angus Ramsay the festival director.With a one day load in, festival and load out it was quite the challenge but despite the weather and the World Cup Soccer semi-finals on that day everyone was pleased with the outcome and are looking forward to next year’s event.
