Trail Kootenay Savings Music in The Park

August 18, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The Trail & District Arts Council is very excited to get the community back together this Summer at Gyro Park for Kootenay Savings Music in The Park. With thirteen shows and two acts per night, from June 16 to September 1, it’s still the perfect opportunity for all the family to get together outside and listen to great live music.

The series starts Thursday, June 16 with local favourites the Trail Pipe Band and Boomer kicking off the season. Followed by a string of great shows with something for everyone, from fiddle to folk, country to rock ‘n’roll, blues to psychedelic jazz rock!

After The Night Market kicks off August, we kick up the energy with a special Wednesday night show on August 10 with TruckVanCar‘s alt., soul, reggae, rock sounds opening for 12-piece brass-funk dance beast My Son the Hurricane. Then locals night comes to Music in the Park as fun cover band RUCKUS opens for jazzy rhythm and blues band Plan B. Local lads The Hillties open on August 18 with their special blend of ska, reggae, hip-hop and funk. Followed by the blues, folk, rock, pop and country blend of WCMA blues artist of the year, and two-time JUNO nominated singer-songwriter, Ndidi O.

August ends with the perfect pairing on August 25 of indie-folk duo Rumour Mill followed by Brendan McLeod’s modern folk quartet The Fugitives with their foot-stomping sing-alongs, show-stopping a capella ballads and insightful storytelling songs.

The last Kootenays Savings Music in the Park of the year is a fiddle fiesta as the classic fiddle of The Golden City Fiddlers meets the acoustic chamber folk with an otherworldly edge of the Raine Hamilton Trio on Sept 1.

Executive Director, Nadine Tremblay, explains, “These events play a critical role in restoring audience confidence, boosting tourism, and stimulating the local and performing arts economy as we work towards recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have a fabulous lineup of local and touring groups this season and I hope everyone in this region, as well as visitors, come see us often this Summer for a fun, safe, and affordable night out.”

Kootenay Savings Music in the Park is held at Trail’s Gyro Park every Thursday starting at 6.15 pm, except for the Night Market shows on July 7 and August 4 when the event will run from 5 pm. Come down and feel the buzz again at these fabulous outdoor summer events.
