Music at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery
The Gulf of Georgia Cannery NHS is a museum that showcases the salmon canning-related history of Steveston Village. In the summer it’s also a venue for performances by a different local band each week.
The Music at the Cannery concert series has changed its format up in recent years. Sometimes it’s a series of concerts over the course of July and August. Sometimes it’s just one big concert in the summer. When it does happen, it’s a great event that supports the museum, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society and local musicians.
Where and When?
The Cannery’s address is 12138 Fourth Avenue in Steveston Village. The performances typically happen outside on the Tank Deck (which is like a courtyard). The shows may take place indoors at the museum on days with poor weather.
Music at the Cannery takes place on Friday, August 14th in 2026. The show starts at 6:30 and features the Halifax Wharf Rats which is a high-energy rock band.
Tickets are available both online and in-person. They can be purchased at the Cannery in advance or starting at 5:45 pm on the day of the show. Tickets bought on the day of the show are cash-only. Seating at the venue is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.
