A summer of great entertainment is in the lineup for Gyro Park, beginning Thursday, June 22.
The Trail and District Arts Council has announced 11 shows for Music in the Park’s roster, highlighting a mix of music from local favourites to touring talent. As well, Music in the Park 2023 will again be collaborating with Trail’s Incredible Farmers Market for two special night markets.
“It’s the perfect opportunity for all the family to get together outside and listen to great live music,” the arts council says, adding, “our two Night Markets on July 20 and August 17 are awesome events that bring the community together with music, food, beer garden and farmers market. So much fun in Gyro Park.”
The concerts run from 6:15 p.m to 8 p.m. Don’t forget to bring a lawn chair.
Admission is by donation, though a $3 minimum is suggested.
Or, music goers can support the art council’s programming by buying a season pass for the whole summer. Passes will be available soon.
