So if you've lived in Vancouver in the last 21 years, chances are you know of the Celebration of Light fireworks show that happens every summer in English Bay.

Well for the THIRD year The Shore 104.3 is holding SHOREfest, a series of concerts that take place prior to the fireworks show, and this year is bigger and better than ever.

Not only will there be acts on the main stage at English Bay, there will be two other stages, one at Vanier Park and one at Kits Beach! The Kits Beach stage will feature the artists currently in the Top 10 for the Shore Song Search Competition, and it just so happens TODAY is the last day to Vote for your favourite (which you can do here).

To celebrate the Celebration of Light and SHOREfest, VIAindie put together a playlist of ALL of the artists playing SHOREfest this year. That's 23 free performances! The schedule is pictured below and you can click the image to hear the playlist. See you oceanside!
