Trout Lake Outdoor Summer Concerts

9 Jul

The popular Trout Lake Outdoor Summer Concert Series is back for another year starting Wednesday, July 10th.  The free outdoor summer concerts take place behind Trout Lake Community Centre, 3360 Victoria Drive, near the children’s playground and tennis courts.  This is an annual event hosted by the Trout Lake Community Centre with concerts taking place 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 21st there will be a lantern procession around the lake led by The Carnival Band from 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Be sure to take in this great summer event.
