Kind of a Big Deal Fest 2024!!
December 7th!
Mark your calendar and and get out to Nanaimo's The Terminal Bar Nanaimo for what will surely be an amazing event meant to build a positive space to discuss the issues we all have to cope with in the music and arts community on the island and the mainland!
There will be music for every style of fan, speakers and the chance to remember and honour those we feel are kind of a big deal but lost too soon to self-harm, drug overdose, or alcohol addiction.
All proceeds from tickets sold will be donated to an organization to support harm reduction methods.
With 11 acts this will take a community of support to make it memorable!
Come out early and support the whole event to celebrate our friends new and old, lost, and present!
Doors at 5pm
Advance tickets will be available soon at NoiseAgonyMayhem and Sound Heritage downtown in Nanaimo for $25 while supplies last!
$30 at the door on the night of. Donations are welcome.
