Liven up your summer nights with fun and uplifting music!
Music on Main returns to Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant Park this August 2023. Bring your friends, family, or go solo and pack a picnic to enjoy an evening of joyful live music.
It all started two summers ago when we shared ten free pop-up events in the park, and neighbours, new friends, and passersbyers loved it. And last summer, the park was once again filled with the gorgeous sounds of flute, harp, cello, string quartets, plus a grand piano from Showcase Pianos.
This year, once again, enjoy music that reflects the sounds of Vancouver back to audience members. Watch the newly released trailer here!
You’ll have the chance to hear from a wide range of musicians and instruments as they fill everyone’s hearts. Why not listen to some of Vancouver’s favourite musicians and perhaps discover a new artist that you’ll love?
We can’t wait to see you again.
Music on Main’s Summer Pop-Up Concert Series has been generously supported by The Lloyd Carr-Harris Foundation.
