Vancouver cancels African Descent Festival

dailyhive.com

The African Descent Festival at English Bay Beach was cancelled by the Vancouver Park Board due to unresolved issues from previous events. Organizers dispute the Park Board's claims, stating they had a payment plan with police and received late notice about alternative locations. The festival commemorates a Black pioneer lifeguard. The non-profit behind the festival plans to sue the Park Board and will hold a protest at English Bay Beach on Sunday.
