Songs of Summer
Date: Saturday August 27, 2022
Location: Gateway Grove - On the lawn outside Gateway Theatre (6500 Gilbert Rd)
Following the success of last year’s sold-out performances at Songs of Summer, we are back outdoors and in-person with more melody and cheer. For the afternoon event, we are inviting families to enjoy a live performance and kid-friendly activities. For the evening event, it’s time for the adults to relax, unwind, and enjoy a nice summer concert (perhaps even with an adult beverage in hand).
Afternoon event: 2:00-5:00 PM
Doors open: 1:15 PM
Tickets: $15
Ages 4 & under: Free admission (ticket required)
Bring the whole family for an afternoon full of fun in the sun! Recommended for ages 5-10, but all are welcome!
2:00-3:00 PM - DJ Miss Sparklez and her multi-talented young performer and songwriter friend, Rickie Wang take the stage to perform their favourite jams and songs that will get the whole family on their feet busting out dance moves.
3:00-5:00 PM - Children can unleash their creative powers with an art activity led by visual artist Laara Cerman from the Richmond Art Truck, fun theatre games led by Gateway Academy Youth Leaders, and storytelling with professional actor and Academy instructor, Magda Ochoa.

There’s no better way to soak up the last days of summer than enjoying live music in the great outdoors with your favourite people. Bring your picnic blankets or chairs and take a respite among the trees for a magical evening filled with Motown tunes from Krystle Dos Santos and her three-piece band. We are thrilled to have her back this summer, as last year’s concert was cancelled due to rain. (Don’t worry, we’ve got a weather plan this year!) Enjoy the sweet sunset serenade with a glass of wine or beer from our concession for the perfect summer night out.
