The festival takes place Sept. 12 to 15 at multiple venues in downtown Vancouver, and guests can purchase a festival wristband or tickets to individual shows. A wristband entitles you to entry to all Westward Music Festival events. Wristband pickup will be available Sept. 11 to 15 at the Vogue Theatre box office (918 Granville St.) from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
