Get out those deck chairs, downtown Squamish is about to become an outdoor movie theatre.
The second annual Downtown Squamish Summer Event Series kicks off Aug. 15 with the Night Market at the Park, an open-air market featuring more than 20 vendors.
On Aug. 22, prepare to walk, bike or bus down to Cleveland Avenue for the first ever Car-Free Cleveland Powered by PechaKucha, a community street party packed with entertainment and activities including street performers, glitter tattoos, a caricaturist, costume parades and live music from The Hairfarmers. This will be followed by Squamish’s first PechaKucha Night – a gathering of local creatives, innovators and changemakers each given the opportunity to display images of inspiration.
Cinema Under the Stars returns on Aug. 27 in Pavilion Park, this time with an outdoor screening with a classic chosen by a community poll: Back to the Future.
