Live and Local events are returning in full swing to Lynn Valley Village with a full slate of performers and family fun throughout the summer presented by the North Vancouver Recreation and Culture Commission. A downloadable calendar can be found here.
Live and Local
Each week new, emerging and accomplished performers will take to Lynn Valley Plaza for an array of entertainment to delight the young and old. Bring your chairs and settle in for some community fun from 6 – 8 pm.
The last two concerts feature Serengeti and R&B Conspiracy.
Serengeti offers an unforgettable musical odyssey. The Vancouver-based afro-soul band features a fusion of a wide range of influences from Marvin Gaye to Fela Kuti. When you listen to Serengeti you will hear elements of funk, latin, soul, R&B, afro beat, and more! The extraordinary trio is the phenomenal Kaitie Sly on bass, the soul-stirring vocalist Sade Awele, and the virtuosic guitarist Amine Said. Serengeti’s music is a testament to their boundless creativity and emotional depth that redefines the contemporary music landscape, leaving an indelible impression on all who dare to listen. Serengeti’s music transcends the role of passive observer; it’s an immersive experience where the audience becomes an active participant, swaying to infectious beats and poignant melodies. The captivating essence of Serengeti resonates long after the last note, leaving an insatiable yearning for more, making every encounter with their music a transformative and enriching experience.

Artist Sessions
Take a mid-day break and chill with local artists at Lynn Valley Village with smaller concerts each week throughout the summer from 12 – 1 pm.
There might be chances to throw out requests on August 13th when Jana Seale takes to the stage.
Mesmerizing audiences from all over the world with her unique and gentle style, West Coast Canadian Jana Seale has travelled the world playing music. Now making her home in Chilliwack, she can be found performing throughout the SW of the province. Seales evocative delivery returns to the roots of the solo performer, reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and the coffeehouses of times gone by. She performs with warm, understated fingerstyle guitar but it’s her multifaceted voice that captivates her audience night after night. With a songlist of around 500 songs including acoustic singer/songwriters from the 60’s to today, and a variety of Pop, Soft Rock, Country, Celtic and Jazz there may be a chance she plays your favourite.
