Bhangra is a folk dance and music form that originated from Punjab, India. It originated as a folk dance celebrated during the time of the harvest. It's traditionally danced to the dhol instrument, a large drum, accompanied by boliyan, short sets of lyrics that describe scenes or stories from Punjab.
Stanley Park had its grand opening in 1888, as Vancouver's first and largest urban park. The 400-hectare park is located in the midst of the urban landscape of Vancouver, with trails, beaches, wildlife, cultural and historical landmarks, and Canada's largest aquarium.
