RE: Hoobiyee 2024
The day is approaching for 2024 Hoobiyee, here is everything you need to know about the schedule and what to expect.
Huu-ay-aht is scheduled to perform on Friday, March 1 at 4:40 p.m. and will have 35 minutes to perform.
There will be a full dress rehearsal on Friday, March 1, 2024, at the Vancouver Friendship Centre from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm prior to the Hoobiyee performance. All singers and dancers who are confirmed to perform, please attend the rehearsal, and bring your shawls and drums and wear light-coloured shirts and black bottoms (pants, shorts, leggings or shirts). Please refrain from wearing low-cut shirts and short skirts/dresses.
Keep in mind that the venue may be cold, bring or wear layers of clothing. There will be vendors and food trucks on location, bring cash and expect line waits. Be very cautious about leaving items unattended while performing and watching the event, as there is no secure location for your belongings. Parking is paid parking (Debit, credit, or cash) and can be limited and sparse, so it can take some time. Make sure to arrive early.
Hoobiyee will be live streamed for anyone interested in watching remotely. A link will be provided before the event.
Per previous communications, singers or dancers must be 14+ and accompanied by an adult performing. We look forward to future events where we can include all children and youth.
