Concerts at the Pier in White Rock

The Concerts at the Pier series has been taking place each summer since 2017. The shows are free to attend and highly recommended. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own chair or blanket to sit on. It’s a good idea to bring food too.

The concerts run on various Thursdays from late June until late August. They begin and end at around 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm. The events typically feature a headliner band as well as one or two opening groups.

Interestingly, the music festival doesn’t always take place near the pier in White Rock. It’s usually held at West Beach, East Beach or Miramar Village depending on the day.
