Amid island music and a barrage of pirates, sailors, and fishermen, we’ll celebrate the magic of water, water conservation, and consciousness—write a message in a bottle, sing sea shanties, take the water challenge.

In addition to the usual fun, Atmosphere Industries presents Gentrification: The Game! An award-winning live action game of monopoly + public space hacking + random acts of kindness. Turn the neighbourhood upside down in a strategic street game that pits developers against locals! We've got art, lawsuits, sidewalk chalk, and an iPhone web app.

Gentrification in a nutshell: 30 people, divided into teams of developers and locals, fight to collect real-life properties, build chain coffee shops, form BIAs, and bend the neighbourhood to their will. They'll craft slick advertising campaigns, deliver impassioned speeches, and probably run around a bit. It's part Monopoly, part public space hacking, and part something else entirely.

This will all all go down at the corner of Augusta Avenue & Denison Sq (by Amadeus Cafe). It's free to play, but tickets are limited - visit http://gentrification.eventbrite.com/ to sign up (a block of tickets will be reserved for walk-ups on the day of).
