Get Ready to Go Back in Time: A new festival ‘with no name’ is bringing a taste of the Old West to Vancouver

If I invited you to take a step back in time with this brand-new summer fest?

The “Fest With No Name” promises a real Old West adventure, complete with country music, fun activities, and a setting that’ll make you feel like you’re in a Western movie.

The organizers vow to transform the PNE into an Old West cultural experience, inspired by the iconic “Man With No Name” and the “A Fistful of Dollars” trilogy.

You can stroll through a locally recreated Western movie set, where every detail transports you to a time of sunset duels and mysterious saloons.

Among the attractions, you can try out an old-fashioned photo booth or browse a vintage market brimming with cowboy accessories. For the more daring, how about testing your skills on a mechanical bull? (I’ve tried it and man, it’s a blast!) But that’s not all: the festival also features drag queen performances, and a variety of delicious BBQ food from local vendors—pretty cool, right?

Musically, the festival is shaping up nicely too, with renowned country artists like Midland and Shane Smith & The Saints making their debuts in Western Canada. We’ll also see performances from Pony Bradshaw, Summer Dean, and Jaime Wyatt, plus the well-known “Queen of the Road,” Nikki Lane, returning to delight the audience alongside other talented Canadian artists.

Mark your calendar: the festival is on July 20 and 21, starting at 4:15 PM (gates open at 4:00 PM) at the PNE Centre Grounds. Tickets are available online for $100 (general) and $200 (VIP). The event will kick off with an opening ceremony by the Squamish Ocean Canoe Family and is open to all ages.

Don’t miss out on this unique party, set to be one of the most memorable experiences of Vancouver’s summer. So, excited about the festival?
