Killarney Community Centre has just announced their first ever Summer Outdoor Concert Series. This free series kicks off Thursday, July 13th and run bi-weekly until August 24th. Some limited seating will be provided on a first come first serve basis. Everyone is welcome to bring a blanket or lawn chairs to enjoy the show. You can expect to find a variety of local performers including Guilty Pleasure, The Odd Trio, Dan Hare, Third Time Lucky! And Three-O. For those that get hungry, there is a new Concession stand Sixty 2 Sixty Eats which will be open to serve food and refreshments. In the event of rain, the concerts will be moved indoors to the Seniors Grand Hall.
The popular Trout Lake Outdoor Summer Concert Series is back for another year starting Wednesday, July 12th. If you have not checked out this great free summer event, you are missing out on the perfect summer evening. This annual event is hosted by the Trout Lake Community Center at 3360 Victoria Drive. Concerts happen every Wednesday evening throughout the summer rain or shine. If it rains, concerts go indoors to the Grandview Room. We’ve had the opportunity to take in some of the concerts on a nice summer evening and we have to say, it is a pretty perfect way to spend an evening. Bring a blanket, your friends, family, kids or the dog or all of the above and a picnic and you are set. If you aren’t able to organize a picnic, you can grab some food at the Carousel Café. We have set out the musical line up for this summer below. Each evening kicks off at 6:30 pm. Dancing is encouraged.
For those that love the lantern processions around Trout Lake, take note. On the very last concert of the summer, August 23rd, there will be a lantern procession around the lake led by The Carnival Band from 8:00 – 9:00 pm. We’ve set out below this year’s musical line up. Be sure to take in this great summer event.
