DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Saturday, August 27th will be a day of fun as the 500 & 600 blocks of Johnson Street turn into a giant street party complete with food, music, dunk tank and kids activities.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the heartfelt wishes of kids 3-17 who are battling a life-threatening medical condition and has already granted  7 Vancouver Island wishes this year;  3 of them for local Victoria kids.=0D=0A=

The party gets started at 11:00 a.m. and goes until 6:00 p.m.  Sponsoring radio station The ZONE-FM will be broadcasting live from the Festival between 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The Festival is free to attend but attendees will have plenty of opportunities to make a donation to help grant a wish.=0D=0A=

Over 40 local businesses along Johnson Street are getting into the spirit by selling paper wish stars in their stores for $2 each beginning on August 22nd.  They’ll also be hosting activities like a skate ramp and art auction on August 27th.  Victoria residents are invited to join in the World’s Largest Yoga Class at 10:00 a.m. hosted by Lululemon.=0D=0A=

About the Make-A-Wish Foundation:=0D=0A=
Since 1983, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of BC & Yukon has made over 1,400 wishes come true for kids battling a life-threatening medical condition.  Each wish provides a child and their immediate family a carefree and joyful experience that is far from the inherent stress and anxiety of having a life-threatening medical condition.  Our goal is to refocus attention on the positive by providing a unique, once-in-a-lifetime wish experience that a family might not otherwise have.
