Simms Summer Concerts: Time Well Wasted

Courtenay wraps the Simms season with a free horn-driven park concert built around familiar rock, R&B, pop, and dance favourites.

Why it's worth going

This is the kind of Sunday closer the valley does well: a riverfront park, a reliable city series, and a band built to keep a broad crowd engaged.

Arrive a little early for an easier lawn spot near the stage and river edge.
Bring a chair or blanket for the grass and expect a 7-8:30 p.m. season-finale set.
