Promoting local music in parks
Music Encounters, the events promoting local singer-songwriters, bands, and music acts is back at your local park this summer due to popular demand.
This year we will host free events for all ages and musical tastes from late July through August. These relaxed music sessions will bring live music back to our communities and create opportunities for shared experiences in our neighbourhoods.
Music Encounters will help you
- reconnect with your neighbours
- revisit your local park
- rediscover your taste in music.
Join us on your own, with friends, or with family for a good time in good company.
