Join us for what has become a festival favourite workshop on Sunday, July 21st at 1:00pm. Darren Charlie will once again be sharing his acclaimed drum-making skills for all those wishing to attend. Darren has more than 30 years of drum-making experience and was taught by elders from the Sts’ailes community.

Attendance is by donation but drum kits vary in price from $45- $135 depending on size. We suggest purchasing your drum kit ahead of time as supplies may be limited on the day. You can purchase your kits here or by calling our Festival Office at 604.796.3664 during regular business hours. Once purchased, Darren will prepare your kit for the workshop and bring it to the event.

Will there be bathrooms available?

Yes, bathrooms with either hand sanitizer or soap and water will be available.

Where do I park?

There is lots of parking just outside the venue. We recommend coming early though to get spots closer to the venue. Pay parking will be in effect.

Will I be able to buy my pass at the door?

We really don’t want any sign of this virus anywhere near us, so don’t let the price of the ticket stop you from doing the right thing. We’ll get you your money back, just get in touch and we’ll figure it out. email info@harrisonfestival.com
