FESTIVAL ADMISSION:

We have continued to operate with a by donation system in order to maintain the festival’s accessibility. However, there are a lot of expenses incurred while organizing an event this large, and we rely on donations to help cover all of these.

May we suggest:

$ 5 for unemployed
$10 for under-employed
$20 employed.

 

 

VOLUNTEER CREW

There are countless opportunities to get involved in the festival, both in the weeks preceding it, and on the actual day. We have to set up the entire site, staff the food kitchens, support the security staff, help peoples find parking, etc. and it’s a lot of work. We rely on the energy and dedication of our volunteer crew, so why not get involved & participate in an interactive way? As little or as much time as you can give is appreciated.

TRANSPO

We encourage all festival goers to use alternate modes of transpo, as there is limited parking available on & around the site. If you drive, please respect our neighbours by not blocking their drive-ways or parking on their lawns.

SHUTTLE BUSES

Free shuttle buses leave Safeway Parking Lot at the Broadway Skytrain Station every 45 minutes starting at 11am.

CRITICAL MASS BIKE BRIGADE

Leaving Grandview Park @ 10am, 11am, noon and 1pm.

Return rides at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm, 9pm, 10pm. (leaving from behind the main stage on the pavement.) These critical masses go at the speed of the slowest rider so all levels are welcome. When there are enough riders and everyone riding agrees, the lane will be taken, otherwise, we ride 1 or 2 abreast.

A MESSAGE FROM THE COLLECTIVE

Culture is the lifeblood of any community and of any organized resistance, and it is in this spirit that Under The Volcano comes together for our 14th year to celebrate "Cultures of Resistance". Our initial mandate (which includes our by-donation ticketing system, programming of non-mainstream artists and no large corporate sponsorship) has remained intact, although our audience size has grown exponentially. We strive to present a broad range of voices, highlighting many communities and their work, and we hope to continue to build bridges with diverse groups of peoples.

It is not our intention nor desire to create an environment that hinges on a whole bunch of rules, but we have 3 that are very important...

 

RESPECT

Please respect the neighborhood, as we have a good relationship with the community around Cates Park and it is important to us that this is maintained.

NO ALCOHOL

NO DOGS

The latter rule seems to be a difficult one for people to accept, but it is necessary nevertheless. The membersof the collective all love dogs (in fact most of us are dog owners), but to ensure that everyone (including parents with small kids and people who are scared of dogs) have a good time, we ask that you not bring your pet to the festival. The crew at the gates will not allow anyone with a dog inside, irregardless if they are on a a leash or not. save yourself a trip and leave the pooches at home.

 

Lastly, we would like to thank you for continuing to support Under The Volcano. Next year will be our 15th Anniversary, and we hope you’ll join us for what will prove to be our biggest festival yet!

 


We would like to acknowledge the continued support of:

The North Shore Arts Commission, District Of North Vancouver, City Of North Vancouver, North Vancouver Park Events, Exclaim!, Co-op Radio, and Small Potatoes
