Don’t miss your chance for some great family entertainment with The International Circus Under The Big Top.

People say that dreams can’t be achieved…. but the Osorio Brothers are proof that they can. Francisco (Pancho), Leoncio Enrique (Leo) and Roberto Carlos (Rob) are three brothers that continue to live the dream of owning a Circus.

Their father Herminio Osorio and mother Rosabelia Osorio retired from the family business – ‘Circo Osorio Mexico’ – to bring these brothers to the United Sates to achieve their dreams. Like all immigrant families, they started with nothing when they first arrived in the U.S. Herminio and Rosabelia wished for their children to become successful Doctors and Lawyers; but with the love and passion for circus in their blood, they decided to continue in the family business and open their own “Circus”.

Experience a night of culinary delights with an evening of flavours from around Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley. From dishes made with local ingredients to handcrafted beverages to live music, this event will be the best way to end your summer and welcome the fall season.  Live music from Ryan McAllister, Kyler Pierce and Greg Neufeld.

• Admission to Night Market
• 8 tokens*, valued at $2.50/token, to spend on vendors at the Night Market

Folk Concert with Saskia Delaronde and Nathan Tinkham.
Two Canadian Songwriters.

A show filled with friendship and laughter, this is an evening not to be missed.

Saskia Delaronde is a favorite on the Canadian folk scene. As a European immigrant she has come to love Canada deeply, but periodically returns to Holland to re-connect with her roots which shows in songs like War Bride, Spring Day in Holland, and Two Countries. Her talent as a seasoned singer/songwriter blends with a sense of humor that quickly puts her audience at ease. She performs with positive energy and strong conviction. Saskia toured and performed for 20 years with Darrel Delaronde as “The Great Plains’ and 10 years with Gary Fjellgaard throughout Canada and Europe. Nathan Tinkham helped her kick start her career with her first two albums and tours.

Nathan Tinkham Nathan Tinkham is a veteran of the Canadian folk, cowboy and country scenes. Nathan began his career in the early 70s busking on the streets of Victoria. Since then he worked and recorded with Ian Tyson, Wilf Carter, Cindy Church, Quartette, Diamond Joe White, Undertakin’ Daddies, Great Western Orchestra, Saskia and a host of others. His songs have been recorded by Quartette, Cindy Church, Gary Fjellgaard and Melanie Safka to name a few. He currently lives on Gabriola Island where he continues to write and work in his studio.

These two musical friends work best as individual song writers featuring their own styles, while backing each other musically.

ABOUT BEMORR SOCIETY

After years of struggling with depression, anxiety and PTSD following his father’s suicide in 2013, Brook Morrison, at the age of 26, also passed away from suicide in September of 2020. Following his passing, the Morrison family envisioned a way to move through the grief and loss to help others who are also struggling with mental health. After many discussions around the Morrison kitchen table, the BeMorr Society Nonprofit came to life. As we navigated through the construction of the Society it became abundantly clear to us that the stigma around reaching out for help for those struggling with mental health, as well as the financial burden of seeking that help, was a barrier for many across Canada. As such, we decided to take an active stance and assist those who need immediate and ongoing assistance.

BeMorr exists to ensure those affected by mental health issues including PTSD and Suicidal thoughts/actions are empowered and supported to seek the help they need and feel safe to speak openly with cost of care not being a barrier. BeMorr provides financial assistance for those who are not able to afford the services. This financial assistance comes from donations, grants, and through fundraising events, such as the Hawaiian Shirt Gala.
