Joy Seeker Festival

A Celebration of the Life and Music of Nicole Edwards

Saturday June 18th 2pm

Mt Lorne Community Centre

Come sing and dance and celebrate the extraordinary life and music of Nicole Edwards!

Nicole passed away September 8th, 2021. She was the creative force and heart behind many endeavors that touched and inspired others to shine. She leaves behind a rich musical and community legacy that is described on her website: https://nicoleedwardsmusic.com/

To honour and celebrate Nicole’s life we are holding a one-day mini music festival on the afternoon/early evening of Saturday June 18th at Mt. Lorne Community Centre.

This is a family friendly event featuring friends and musical colleagues of Nicole’s performing music inspired by Nicole.  There will be individual performances throughout the day starting at 2pm, winding up with a dance set because Nicole would insist on dancing :)

Some performers so far: Lucie D, Caroline Watt, Claire Ness, Frazer Canyon, Fawn Fritzen, Annie Avery’s All Star Dance Band!

Admission is free, donations to (Bringing Youth Towards Equality) BYTE’s Nicole Edwards Leadership Fund are welcome. There will be a cash jar for donations on site.

Bring cash for food and refreshments

We are still seeking volunteers: All manner of help is needed from techs and stage helpers to performers and on-site crew. to set-up/tear-downers and everything in between. If you would like to be part of this show/concert in some way or would like to share a memory, please get in contact with Andrea McColeman – email: amccoleman88@gmail.com

Feel free to spread the word and please plan to come to this happy celebration of Nicole’s life!
