Nothing feels more like summer to us than outdoor music festivals! And with so many great ones in Burnaby, BC, we have a tendency to relish in the staycation close to home each summer with lazy days of reading by the pool, puttering with our patio pots turning our decks into summer oases, and revelling in the music that comes to us each summer.
I single out Burnaby as they happen to host a summer favourite of ours, the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival, and as they’ve been raising bar the last few summers by bringing such a fantastic mix of music to enjoy outdoors in Burnaby! And while these Burnaby outdoor summer concerts started with City and Colour on Friday May 23rd, they start for us, personally, next weekend with the second ever CBCmusic.ca Festival! Quite excited, as you might gather from this post I wrote on the festival: CBCmusic.ca Festival Ignites this Summer at Deer Lake Park
So what else has Burnaby got in store in the way of outdoor music to enjoy this summer? Here is the full event list:
- Friday May 23 – City and Colour (sadly missed) at Deer Lake Park
- Saturday June 14 – CBCmusic.ca Festival at Deer Lake Park
- Tuesday July 1st – Canada Day Concert (a free event with Spirit of the West, Dear Rouge, and Dustin Bentall and the Smokes) at Swangard Stadium
- Sunday July 13 – Symphony in the Park (a free event with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra) at Deer Lake Park
- Saturday August 9 – Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival (get your tickets NOW, as the 1st 1000 sold are discounted) at Deer Lake Park
- Tuesday August 19 – Beck at Deer Lake Park
- Thursday August 21 – Jack Johnson (sadly sold out – I’ll try not to gloat too much that I have a ticket!) at Deer Lake Park
- Thursday August 28 – Jack White at Deer Lake Park
And to best prepare yourself to have an outstanding time at these events, here is a post I wrote, based on past experiences at the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby: How to Prepare for an Outdoor Music Festival: the One-Day Festival
Stay tuned over the summer as we share a few of the sights, sounds and vibes that we experience at Burnaby’s outdoor music events and other cultural excursions!

Those sound like some awesome summer music festivals.
They do, don’t they Alouise. Rather stoked for the CBC Music Festival next weekend!
Omg, I can’t wait to go there next year. Thanks for putting this together, I will bookmark your page. Jack Johnson is my all time favorite! 🙂
Yeah, fabulous setting to enjoy great music Ashley!
Ohh.. I just can’t wait for 21 & 28 August. I love Summer Outdoor Music Concerts, Infact, when it occurs in Canada. Although, I have a enjoyed lots of music concerts in Top Australian & UK festivals. But, Canada is something different in all of that.
Thanks for sharing this wondeful list of Summer music concerts in Burnaby! 🙂
Yeah, each setting creates a different feel Vivek. Would love to experience great music outdoors in Australia.
I have just moved to Vancouver, sad to have missed these this year but will look out for them next year thanks!
Too bad Karen, but Burnaby will have a great summer slate next summer too!
Welcome to Vancouver!
Sounds like fun, magnifico! Loving it.
Always is! Thanks Glenn!
Looks like some great things to do. Unfortunately found the article a little late for this summer. Are they running it again next summer?
That they will Nicole! Symphony in the Park and the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival are annual events, and the other concerts in between change every summer.
Wow. this seems like an amazing festival to relax and enjoy good music with your friends and family. Great post.
Hey, great festivals!! i would love to go to one of them!
Hey! Looks really interesting festival. Now I am feeling very bad that I couldn’t attend at that program. I will surely never miss the next one.
This makes me want to check out this type of festival….. Just sit out and relax
