Menzies Music will host a summer concert series with live music every Saturday from July 1 until Sept. 2.
The series is a collaboration between the music company and the Golden Skybridge outdoor park.
All shows will take place at the Golden Skybridge’s main stage and are open to those with a Locals Insider Pass and anyone who has paid admission to the Golden Skybridge Park.
The Locals Insider Pass is a season-long pass for residents of the Golden area. It costs $39 and gives community members unlimited access to Golden Skybridge Park for the entire summer.
“A lot of people think just because they missed out on Locals Days, they can’t take advantage of this deal, but it’s here all summer,” said Todd Menzies, the owner and operator of Menzies Music.
Passes with a valid local identification card can be purchased at the Golden Skybridge ticket booth.
Regular paid admission to the park costs $40 for adults and $30 for children, however, the park also offers a reduced rate called the “Golden Hour” pass which costs $32.20 for adults and $21 for children.
From folk to blues, the summer lineup will feature artists from all over the West Coast and cover a range of genres to satisfy many different music tastes.
The series will feature Skye Wallace, Oh November, Bend Sinister, Rumour Mill, Shred Kelly, Ryland Moranz, Moontricks, Matt Blais, Jesse Roper, and Olivia Rose in chronological order of their performances.
Last year, fan favourites like Shred Kelly and Moontricks drew in crowds of over 600 people.
In addition to music, every other concert from the first show onward will include a night market. The market will feature local artisans, crafters, some food trucks, and vendors.
“It’s kind of like the Golden Farmers’ Market without the produce,” Menzies said.
This year, the park is also fully licensed to sell alcohol and will have beer available on tap.
“It’s a great place to come and catch a show, some dinner and a beer,” Menzies said. “It’s a pretty cool series, and people are starting to catch on.”
