The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation is partnering with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (VSO) to bring back its very popular free open-air concert at Sunset Beach Park on July 6.
This year’s performance will feature recognizable music from hit films such as Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, and E.T., along with a selection of classical favourites. The organizers invite all concertgoers to experience an evening of enchanting music against the backdrop of sweeping views of English Bay.
In previous years, there were over 15,000 attendees at the event. So, arrive early to get the best place to enjoy music as the sun sets on the ocean.
Reminders from the organizers:
- There will be road closures in the following areas:
- Thurlow Street between Pacific and Beach, will be closed from 4-10 p.m.
- Beach Avenue, between Thurlow and Jervis, will be closed from 7-11 p.m.
- Bute St, between Pacific and Beach, will be closed from 7-11 p.m.
- Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, or take public transportation to Symphony at Sunset as parking in the area is very limited.
- If driving is necessary, drivers should consider parking in Stanley Park and walking to the event site. Arrive early and allow plenty of time to find parking.

- The event grounds will be open all day for picnickers to set up early, as space will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
