The Plaza Series Returns for a Summer of Free Live Music and Family-Friendly Fun

The Arden Theatre welcomes audiences back to St. Albert Place in July and August for the Plaza Series, an annual summer-long celebration of community and music.

Thursday evenings in July and August at 7 p.m., join us in downtown St. Albert to enjoy a variety of performances from local talents and internationally acclaimed artists.

The series is better than ever this year — just bring your own seating and take in the free music and fun. No tickets required!

Each week will feature a new theme to highlight and explore culture in St. Albert. With themes like ‘Swingin’ and Singin’, ‘Haitian and Caribbean Soul Jazz Party’ and ‘Fiddles on Fire’, there is something for everyone — and everyone belongs at the weekly festival on the Plaza.
