COQUITLAM, B.C., June 24, 2022 – Two-time JUNO award winner Dan Mangan is kicking off Coquitlam’s Kaleidoscope Arts Festival with an outdoor concert on Friday, Aug. 19.

Coquitlam’s seventh annual free arts festival returns Aug. 19 to 21 with in-person, drop-in activities at three different City parks: live music Aug. 19 at Town Centre Park; performances and hands-on experiences Aug. 20 at Blue Mountain Park; and family-focused fun Aug. 21 at Victoria Park.

Something for All Ages and Interests

This year’s expanded Kaleidoscope festival offers three different venues and vibes to explore:

  • For a concert experience with food trucks and live music, get into festival mode Aug. 19 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the updated festival hub at Town Centre Park, 1299 Pinetree Way. Bring your own chairs or blanket and watch headliner Dan Mangan – a world-renowned B.C. indie rocker who has won two JUNOs and listed for two Polaris Music Prizes – and another live act perform on the TD Community Plaza Stage overlooking beautiful Lafarge Lake. 
  • Immerse yourself in the arts on Aug. 20, 12 to 4 p.m. at Blue Mountain Park, 975 King Albert Ave. Get creative with hands-on arts activities, watch music and cultural dance performances, browse local art club displays and sample food vendor fare. 
  • Enjoy family-focused fun on Aug. 21, 12 to 4 p.m. at Victoria Park, 3435 Victoria Dr. Experience an artful afternoon with live music, storytelling, cultural workshops and creative arts activities. Food vendors will also be on site.

Watch for more details about the events at www.coquitlam.ca/kaleidoscope and the City’s social media channels during July and August, as we provide updates on performers, food trucks, and art activities and other participants.
