Ice Cream Truck Live
Ice Cream Truck Live was launched in 2020 by producer Roberto Richards as a response to Covid’s devastating impacts on the local musicians. It has since hosted over 20 pop-up shows in unique outdoor spaces, giving a platform to a diverse group of local artists. Over the course of the weekend the CONNECT X-Mas Market & Music Festival will feature the signature Neapolitan-coloured ice cream truck alongside over 20 of Vancouver’s most vibrant musical talents, both established and up-and-coming. Plus you can expect some amazing Food Trucks and a full bar.
