MECHANICS OF MUSIC STREET SESSIONS
A free outdoor celebration of music & community
Thank you for making the Street Sessions a huge success! We brought the music out of the studio and into the heart of New Westminster—and you showed up in a big way.
​
From the Sound Playground, where folks of all ages picked up guitars, ukuleles, drums, and more, to the community sing-along where voices filled the street, your energy made the day unforgettable. Whether you were trying an instrument for the first time or jamming like a pro, your presence turned this into more than an event—it became a celebration of connection, creativity, and community.
​
Thank you for playing, singing, and showing how powerful music can be when we share it together. Rain or shine, you made it a good time. Visit the Photo Galleries below!
