Hornby Festival Concludes with Performances and Tribute

community · August 2023 · Hornby Island

The Hornby Festival concluded recently with performances including Alpha Yaya Diallo and others. The Festival Artistic Director Deirdre Atkinson was unable to attend the final evening due to her mother's passing. The event featured soundchecks, multiple performers, and was noted for high-quality sound and audience engagement.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
