"This year’s lineup features an incredible mix of local favourites and up-and-coming artists performing across multiple stages," reads the Khatsahlano website.
Those favourites and artists will be spread across seven stages (and one kids stage) between MacDonald and Burrard streets on West Fourth Avenue, which will be closed for the festival.
Billed as the "largest free music and arts festival" in Vancouver, the 2025 edition is promising a "camp" theme (as in sleep-away camps).
"From s’mores and scavenger hunts to sing-alongs and camp games, Camp Khats promises a nature-inspired urban escape filled with community connection."
While the music side has been set, organizers are still taking applications for other participants, including vendors and food businesses.
Khatsahlano gets its name from August Jack Khahtsahlano, a Squamish Elder who was born in a village that used to stand where Stanley Park is now. Kitsilano, the current name of the neighbourhood where the street festival takes place, is an Anglicization of his name.
Khahtsahlano was an influential figure in Vancouver's early days and provided a great deal of information about the local history from before the area was colonized.
