It is my hope that all students are able to find a way to experience quality music in our community. In order to encourage this, I have put together a list of just SOME of the amazing music available in our community. Below is a list of free festivals, concerts and concert series you can visit… all located in Burnaby and neighbouring cities of Coquitlam, Vancouver, Port Moody and New Westminster.
