A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR STAPLES

On behalf of the City of Duncan, we are excited to welcome you to the Duncan-Cowichan Festival Society's 39 Days of July: a musical, community, and performance experience.

This festival is filled with talent from local and international artists, performers, and musicians who are called to sing, perform, and join in the spirit of this uniquely Duncan, "Small City. Big Summer Fun" annual celebration.

Dancing together again last summer after a tough couple of years of separation, this festival reminded us of the importance and generosity of music and performance art. It helped us remember the value and strength of being together. Again this year, the festival invites us to gather in person, to dance, listen, and appreciate the artists and entertainers together with the thousands of people who visit downtown Duncan and discover that our small city truly is 'a rather FUN place to be.'

Michelle Staples

Mayor, City of Duncan
