With past shows in Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, East and West Vancouver  it is the only festival of its kind across 7 continents. </blockquote></blockquote></blockquote> <p align=center> <font face=verdana size=2 color=black> <b>|<a href="http://www.mawovancouver.org/hiphop2008bios.html"> About the Artists... </a>| <a href="http://www.mawovancouver.org/reports/2008hiphop_report.html">View 2008 Festival Report & Photo Gallery </a> <table align=center align=left width=750 cellspacing=10> <td align=left width="100%"> <b> </font> <center><font face=verdana color=black size=6> <b>FESTIVAL SCHEDULE</b> <hr width=40%> <font face=verdana color=black size=5> <b><I>ALL FREE EVENTS!</b></i></font> <br> <font face=arial size=5 color=#663399><b><a href="hiphop2008bios.html">Click Here for Artist Bios</a></b></font> <br><br> </center> <font size=4 face=verdana> <font face=verdana size=4> <b><font face=verdana size=5 color=#663399>SATURDAY, September 20</b><br></font> <font face=verdana size=4>WORKSHOPS + EVENING SHOW!
