Headed to Folk Fest this weekend? Drop by our booth for a visit with Kiri Bird and other familiar Tyee faces.

Tyee Builders, put on your dancing shoes. (Or dance barefoot because... well... it's Folk Fest!)

Today we chose at random two Tyee supporters to each receive weekend passes (value $165) to the Vancouver Folk Music Festival. Folk Fest kicks off this Friday, July 19, and runs all weekend at Jericho Beach in Vancouver.

The two lucky winners are set to enjoy this year's all-star Folk Fest line-up, featuring familiar faces like Kathleen Edwards, Hannah Georgas and Steve Earl, plus "new discoveries" who, according to artistic director Linda Tanaka, "make the festival special."

Surprise giveaways like this are just one way to thank our 600-member-strong group of monthly supporters, a.k.a. Tyee Builders. Together, these dedicated readers have contributed tens of thousands of dollars to Tyee journalism, making reader-funded articles appear on our pages daily.

Want to support The Tyee and qualify for upcoming Builder-only giveaways? Sign up today for as little as $5/month, and your name will be included in all future draws. Who knows, you could be the next winner.
