Bringing Youth Towards Equality (BYTE), Yukon College and the Yukon College Student Union are once again joining forces to present a second Future Routes Festival tomorrow at the Yukon College gym.

The concert will be headlined by Vancouver’s famed electronic duo, The Funk Hunters, who have been making waves at music festivals across North America for their groundbreaking combination of heavy electronic beats and classic funk and soul lines.

With Sarah MacDougall, Major Funk and the Employment, Dead Simple, Zipline, and Claire Ness and the Wisecrackers, rounding out the entertainment, the all-ages event is being promoted as a danceable, funk-filled night of music.

“We are excited to be bringing the Funk Hunters to Yukon for the first time,” said Kara Johancsik, BYTE’s communications co-ordinator.

“BYTE is pleased to be part of creating this memorable end-of-summer celebration for both students and the wider community.”

Doors will open at 4 p.m., while the music will kick off at 5 p.m.

The event will begin with a community market featuring local vendors selling arts, crafts, and jewelry.

Outside, Whitehorse food trucks will provide healthy sustenance; inside there will be a beer garden for those 19 and older.

The event is free to Yukon College students.

“In order to make the event as accessible as possible, we have worked hard this year to ensure college students have free entry, alongside reducing the ticket price for community members, and working with the City of Whitehorse to provide free transit until 10 p.m.,” said Matt Landry, the student union president.
