Function Block pARTy

Friday, August 21, 2009 | 6pm-10pm

The first one was so much fun we decided to bring it back and step it up a notch. Don't miss the Whistler Arts Council's last summer bash!
 
With less walking, more venues, free food, art, live music, artisans & entertainment, this Block pARTy promises to knock your socks off!  The pARTy is separated into 2 sections to increase venue accessibility: Block 1 -The Carnival is located around Millar Creek Rd, from 6-8pm and Block 2 - The After pARTy is located around Alpha Lake Rd, from 8-10pm.

New additions include Tommy Honest & The Liars, DJ Rob Banks, live painting with Taka Sudo, community mural with Vanessa Stark, Rock Band and much more...

All 14 venues will be serving refreshing Whistler Water, free!

This is a FREE event for everyone. Bring your family, your friends and of course your pooch!

Not sure what is a block party? Remember the good ol' days when all the neighbours got together on the front lawns? When Mr. Johnsonville cooked hot dogs, that crazy lady danced in the street, you played hop scotch and the big kids sat around looking cool? Well times that by a hundred and you have the Function Junction Block pARTy!

FREE SHUTTLE sponsored by Canadian All-Terrain
From Whistler Village Taxi Loop to Function Junction starting at 6pm. It will make a stop in Creekside at the Greyhound Bus Location on the way down to Function. Buses will circle back and forth approximately every half hour except from 7:45pm - 8:45pm, when they will shuttle ArtWalkers from Block 1 to Block 2. The last shuttle leaves Function at 10:15pm.

Function Junction venues have varying hours of operation. Not all venues will be able to provide showings regularly throughout the summer. So, be sure to attend the Block pARTy in order to view the artwork in these galleries!
