Gates open at 6:30 p.m. There will be a free bike valet during the event and free fares on transit service beginning at 5 p.m. until the last trip.

Garret T. Willie, from Kingcome Inlet, is described as an old soul masquerading as an uncommonly wise, weathered, witty and world-weary 23-year-old.
Luke Blu Guthrie is an independent rhythm and blues artist born and raised on Vancouver Island. An alternative roots style is his foundation for an array of acoustic and electric guitars that support soulful vocals, a unique foot percussion rig and sounds derived from his colourful southern ancestry.
Music lovers are in for a treat this summer, as Blues Night is also the first event in Campbell River’s new CR Jazz and Blues Festival. The festival is presented by Highway 19 Concert Series, with support from the City and others. Visit highway19.ca for CR Jazz and Blues Festival details.
With the beginning of CR Live Streets, the River Concerts series will move to Friday nights beginning on July 26, 2024.
