Gates open at 6:30 p.m. There will be a free bike valet during the event and free fares on transit service beginning at 5 p.m. until the last trip.

Big Easy Funk Ensemble celebrates the amazing variety of music that has grown out of the jazz, blues and snazzy grooves of New Orleans. The nine-member band includes a three-piece horn section comprised of Andrew Benton on sax, Kevin Tang on trombone, and Ryan Naso on trumpet. The rhythm section includes Reece Worth on guitar, Eric Stephenson on bass, Tyler Gibson on keyboards/organ, Ryan Davis on drums, Jeffrey Kornblum on percussion, and, last but not least, the mesmerizing Chris Berry on vocals.
CR Live Streets is an award-winning event series that’s put on by the City in partnership with the Tidemark Theatre and Highway 19 Concerts. We also gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia. With CR Live Streets, Shoppers Row becomes a destination for art, dance, music, food, and community throughout the summer. All CR Live Street events are free, family-friendly and open to all.
