Live & Local is a series of free outdoor summer concerts on Thursday and Friday evenings in North Vancouver in July and August.
Last year Live & Local ran between July 3rd and August 29th. Concerts took place on select dates at Lynn Valley Village, Edgemont Village, Panorama Park, Lions Gate Village, Seylynn Park and Ray Perrault Park. 2026 will likely be similar, although exact dates and details are to be confirmed.

Live & Local Summer Live Music Concert Series
The program in North Vancouver used to be called the Summer Outdoor Concert Music Series. A couple of years ago, its name changed to the Live & Local Concerts Series. For a couple of years there were cultural events too. However, as of 2025, it was 100% awesome music. Some really great bands participate.
Now known simply as Live & Local, the series features more than 20 free shows on select dates in the summer. This past year there were six concerts at Lynn Valley Village, five at Lions Gate Village, four in Seylynn Park, four in Panorama Park, two in Edgemont Village and one at Ray Perrault Park.
