byRegistration is now open for the Coquitlam Summer Concert Series which will include four drive-in concerts held the weekend of July 17-18, 2021, with videos of the live performances available online for free starting July 23.
Coquitlam Summer Concert Series
Modified for safe viewing during the pandemic, the fifth annual concert series formerly attracted thousands to Town Centre Park. This year the Summer Concert Series has been planned as a drive-in event to offer Coquitlam residents a safe way to experience live music once again. Those attending the drive-in shows may either remain in their vehicles or set up chairs in their designated space to enjoy an outdoor concert experience. As part of the City’s commitment to supporting businesses, the 2021 event will also support local eateries.
