There’s nothing like an open-air concert– but you know what would make it better? If it was during sunset. A beautiful orange sky paired with excellent music makes for a fantastic summer evening.
Luckily for you, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s annual Symphony at Sunset is returning for another year. Notably, it’s being temporarily moved to David Lam Park because of Metro Vancouver’s Water Supply Tunnel project at sunset beach.
This free outdoor concert is perfect for anyone who loves gorgeous views, warm summer weather, and orchestral music. You’ll definitely get those refined summer vibes from Symphony at Sunset.
