Burnaby Chalk Art Experience | June 15


Head to the Bonsor Recreation Complex on June 15th to watch incredible artists create chalk masterpieces on the pavement. From 11 am to 5 pm, street painters from the Lower Mainland and all over the world will transform the sidewalk into a vibrant gallery using sidewalk chalk. The celebratory atmosphere will be in full effect with live music, food trucks, face painting, and much more onsite. It’s a great summer event to check out whether you’re with young kids, a group of friends, or a date.


Symphony in the Park | June 30


This event is a local favourite and a staple of summer for any music lover in the Lower Mainland. Held each year at Burnaby’s beautiful Deer Lake Park, the world-class Vancouver Symphony Orchestra performs an amazing free outdoor concert. The performance always includes classics and light favourites that are sure to be crowd pleasers for all ages. The event is totally free, but be sure to arrive early to grab a spot on the grass as this is always a popular event. Bring your picnic blankets, a sweater for when the evening gets cool, and of course, lots of snacks.
