Sea Vancouver Festival with Natalie MacMaster and Leahy

Jul 6, 2005

By Catherine Barr

 

The Sea Vancouver Festival got off to a VIP start last week with the Cannon Ball Blast at the Plaza of Nations. A wine reception and dinner cruise to Tall Ship Island was followed by a special opening night performance by Natalie MacMaster and the awesome brother/sister eight-member group Leahy.
