Illuminate Yaletown - 21/02/09

Yaletown, which is the neighborhood where I live in Vancouver, hosted a free party where many of the buildings featured a light installation, plus all sorts of things to do.




I got together with some friends and we spent the eve checking it out - have to the highlight was at a restaurant called "Section 3". They had some great DJ's spinning while Suzka Mares, one of my fave local musicians played along on the violin.



This party was hastily put together by the Yaletown business association so it qualifies to be an "established" event that will be allowed to go on during the 2010 Winter Olympics that Vancouver will be hosting.

The night was a great effort considering the short amount of time that had to organize it - and the turnout was fantastic.

Makes me look forward to what they will accomplish for the big party next year.
