Wavelength Summer Thing returns with double the stages!

This annual celebration of live music returns to SummerSeries in Trillium Park. With a main stage and lake stage, local talent will shine in genres ranging from indie-folk to alternative hip-hop to Afro-Brazilian percussion.

In addition to this robust line-up of performers, the FREE event will feature a mouth-watering selection of food and drink by the waterfront park. Shop hand-made wares from independent vendors and participate in interactive art installations for all ages.

Celebrate summer how it’s meant to be: together with some tunes by a toasty campfire and the lake!
