SQUAMISH SUMMER SOCIAL Produced by Tide Water Projects

Good People. Good Times. Good Vibes. That’s what life should be all about, right?! So that’s what we will do this Saturday, August 29th at a location TBD in Squamish. Come down to this all ages, family friend event between 2PM to 10PM for a day full of community, live music, food trucks, and drinks available. Tickets are $15! We want to bring the city together one last time before everyone ends their summer and want to make this an annual event we provide for the people.

You’ll be able to see Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation’s own DJ Kookum. A legendary Indigenous DJ who knows exactly how to own any stage. Her moniker, a childhood gem, is a testament to how she is absolutely "cooking" every time she performs live. For 15 years, she has been smashing through industry glass ceilings and carving out her own lane. Starting out in Cold Lake as the local tastemaker who curated CDs for everyone, she was raised on a deep appreciation for the live music scene by her mother. While she didn't initially see herself behind the decks, the moment she touched a mixer and CDJs, her path was set and her world was forever transformed.

Other featured artists will be Maori/NZ artist Rei, who is finishing his cross country tour with this set. His uplifting,multi-genre sound gets the crowd moving while celebrating Māori culture, leaving audiences feeling empowered and inspired. With live kapa haka (Māori performing arts), taonga pūoro (traditional Māori instruments), Māori language lyrics, and powerful Māori visuals, Rei’s performances are a truly unique addition to the global music scene.

Legendary DJ and Squamish Local DJ Praiz will be spinning during the event and is guaranteed to bring a diverse set. Tracing his heritage to the foundations of the hip hop movement, DJ Praiz is a master turntablist and producer who has been defining the West Coast vibe for more than ten years. His technical prowess and signature flair remain virtually unparalleled in the scene today. A true pioneer of versatility, Praiz effortlessly bridges the gap between different eras and musical genres. He has crafted a unique, feel-good atmosphere that is entirely his own, ensuring every performance leaves a lasting impression on the crowd.
