City kicks off four-part summer music series

Local musicians to perform in Nanaimo’s scenic parks

Summary

The City of Nanaimo is hosting a free four-part summer concert series to celebrate the season and connect audiences to some of Nanaimo’s diverse musical talent.

The first concert features local Chamber-Folk-Pop artist Elise Boulanger and her band, and will take place on Saturday, July 24, 2021 from 3 to 4 p.m. at Departure Bay beach near the Kin Hut.
