NVRC is highlighting the arts this summer! Live & Local is NVRC’s summer 2023 arts and entertainment events series, including weekly outdoor concerts, Plaza Pop-Ups, Artist Sessions and Big Games.
Live & Local Concerts
Where local talent takes centre stage
Our largest outdoor musical events, Live & Local Concerts feature new, emerging and accomplished local performing artists who take to the stage in parks and plazas. Bring a lawn chair or blanket for the performance. Our concerts start July 7 and are held every Friday from 6-8pm until September 1.
Live & Local Plaza Pop-Ups
Music, arts and games
Our Live & Local Plaza Pop-Ups feature a variety of fun, family-friendly activities including music, arts and games. Every Plaza Pop-Up is unique with activities from face painting to interactive arts and crafts and more. Local talent complements the fun evenings by providing live musical entertainment for attendees. Pop-Ups run every Thursday evening from 6-8pm at various locations, including Civic Plaza, Rogers Plaza, and Lions Gate Plaza starting July 6 until the end of August.
Live & Local Artist Sessions
Adding ambience to North Vancouver
Live & Local Artist Sessions add ambience to North Vancouver. Artist Sessions are smaller than concerts and are great for people looking to rest their legs, maybe grab a drink from a nearby shop, and unwind as local artists share their talent with the community. The sessions are held in Lynn Valley Village Plaza from 11am–1pm every Tuesday from June 13 until the end of August and Edgemont Village on July 11 and August 15 from 5-7pm.
Big Games
Live & Local presents Big Games, where giant-sized versions of your favorite childhood games are offered! Big Games will be brought out at Lynn Valley Village Plaza for all to enjoy every Monday and Wednesday from 1–3pm, from July 3 until the end of August.
