Ice Cream Truck Live resides, works, plays, enjoys and calls home these beautiful lands known to us as Vancouver; but known first as the (unceded) territories of the Txʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and we express gratitude to these Nations for sharing these lands with us.

NADUH is a Vancouver-based RnB/HipHop Girl Gang with an Astrological twist.

Filling in the industry thigh gap, the 5-piece femme powered, hip hop group introduces the “New Era" of girl-groups: true friends who are the sole visionaries and manifestors of their music, narrative, and image, rather than being formed and produced by men. Their music holds strong messages of empowerment, healing, sexuality, and spirituality, mixed in with "that bitch" energy, helping humans spread more love and acceptance while entertaining their urge to twerk.

NADUH write, engineer, and produce all of their music - meaning they have crafted a sound that’s truly representative of their collective energy - spreading that cosmic message through R&B infused beats that hit every chakra, laced with buttery-smooth vocals and herstorical lyrics. This one-of-a-kind group aims to shatter earthly constructs, and pop pussies worldwide.

NADUH brings a distinctive sound, FPE and personal empowerment to all.

The first Chinese or "scholars" garden built outside of China, located in Chinatown in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

With a breathtaking, zen like environment, the Garden will transport you to a place very far from all the stress, monotony and pain of day to day life so that you can lean into this enchanted evening, drop those inhibitions, lose yourself in dance and community, inspired by a lineup of ultra talented artist performers.

Thank you so much to Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden and their amazing staff (Bruno and Lorraine et all) for sharing this beautiful space in their effort to contribute passionately to reviving the struggling Chinatown economy with arts and culture.
