It’s opening night (July 3) for performances in the Park in Williams Lake.
The first in this annual summer concert series that takes place Thursday evenings in Boitanio Park will feature the Cariboo Gold Dance Band followed by Adam and Elise.
Manager of Performances in the Park, Venta Rutkauskas said this year’s line up will have something for everyone along with a good selection of up and coming Cariboo artists to keep the crowds entertained.
“We have some great up and comers high school aged band performers, a few other acts that are kind of local regional, some from Quesnel, a couple of local singers and songwriters that we’re excited to showcase. Rich and Becca, our Williams Lake duo representing the Tsilhqot’in Nation, they’re a hip hop duo.”
Rutkauskas said when it came to receiving applicants for this year’s series the Williams Lake Performing Arts Society always get a amazing array from around the province and other parts of Canada.
“We consider all the tastes, all the audience members, and also some of our priorities like equity and access to our stage so we’re really happy how this lineup looks for 2025. It’s really easy to book Folk Artists but we also like to add Indigenous Artists and we’re so excited to invite the Mayor’s night special with the Punjabi dancers that he gathers from the local community and the South Coast, and there are a lot of really awesome women in the lead in this concert series.”
Performances in the Park will happen each and every Thursday evening starting at 6 now through August 21st.
