The Vancouver Peace and Justice Fair will return to Esther Short Park for its 13th year on Saturday, September 10, 2016, showcasing local nonprofit agencies and churches, volunteers and activists, performers and just-plain-folks who are focused on making Clark County – and the whole world – a better place to live.
Visitors can get to know the many busy, big-hearted local community groups that are working on important causes like hunger, homelessness, racial relations, environmental restoration, war and refugees, health and nutrition, animal welfare, and much more. Dozens have signed up as exhibitors and sponsors this year. If you’ve ever been interested in volunteering, or just exploring our local charitable networks, this is the event for you.
The entertainment lineup this year is bigger and better than ever. Main-stage highlights this year will be sweet Celtic harp from Jennifer Pratt-Walter, cosmic keyboards from jazz master Jim Templeton, and crowd-pleasing Woodstock-nation sounds of cover band Echoes of Yasgurs. Capping off the whole festival will be a special appearance by the Vancouver USA Singers, featuring beloved songs of peace like John Lennon’s “Imagine” and Paul McCartney’s “Let It Be.”
The Vancouver Peace and Justice Fair is a day like no other: A homegrown gathering of our community’s most forward-thinking citizens and peacemakers. Come see how Vancouver is leading the way to a better world.
The Peace and Justice Fair is a free event taking place at Esther Short Park from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday, September 10, 2016.
