MECHANICS OF MUSIC STREET SESSIONS
A free outdoor celebration of music & community
Join us in the heart of New Westminster for Street Sessions, a free hands-on, all-ages event that brings music out of the studio and onto the street. Whether you’ve never picked up an instrument or you’ve been jamming for years, this is your chance to play, sing, and connect.
​
Start the day with our Sound Playground, a space where you can try guitars, ukuleles, drums, and more. Our teachers will be there to help you explore, answer questions, and show you how easy it is to make music.
​
Then, stick around for our community sing-along—a big, joyful session featuring songs everyone knows and loves. No stage, no pressure, just neighbours making noise together. ​Rain or shine, it’s going to be a good time.
All ages, all instruments, all welcome.
