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’s 100% music, and awesome music too! 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 year there are 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.
