Brampton WingFest details announced; VAB to exhibit

Details on the first annual Brampton WingFest, to be held at Chinguacousy Park on Saturday, September 3 from noon to 11 pm. The Brampton Guardian has just published an overview of the event, the variety of foods available within the wings realm and beyond, entertainment, rides, and activities. Visual Arts Brampton will have a display at the event.

Organizer Jerome Dawson of the Chinguacousy Lions Club told the Guardian that the Rotary Club's Ribfest was a great kickoff to summer, and that the Lions hope this would be Brampton's finale to summer.

Visual Arts Brampton member Ryan C. Thompson designed the logo of the event.

Brampton Indie Arts Fest returns

From 2000 to 2007, the Brampton Indie Arts Fest was an annual creative hub, hosted at the Heritage Theatre, and later the Rose Theatre.

Friendly Rich returns as Artistic Director, to pick the acts for "the best-of-the-best in underground and experimental musicians, filmmakers, dancers, poets and visual artists." The lineup will be announced soon, according to the website.

All the events will be at Rose Theatre Brampton: Studio Two, Main Stage (Audience and Acts), lobby and the Fountain Stage in Garden Square (weather permitting). The event happens September 15 and 16, 7:30 to "late". The entire event is free.

VAB member Ryan C. Thompson is currently scheduled to exhibit at the event, more details as they come.
