Western Canada has been waiting patiently to return to festival season, and it’s looking like the wait has been worth it: the multi-venue Westward Music Festival returns with five venues, five days and 34 electrifying Canadian acts. Highlights include: spitfire rapper Haviah Mighty (Sept. 12, Imperial), surfy local band DACEY (Sept. 11, the Fox), genre-bending duo MONEYPHONE (Sept. 10, Imperial), the iconic BBNO$ (Sept. 11, the Vogue) and many more. You can see any of the acts individually, but the themed multi-day festival packages provide the best possible music fix.
