Celebrate the end of summer at Richmond’s outdoor movie and concert bash this Sunday, August 31 at the Richmond Olympic Oval waterfront plaza. Come enjoy free live musical performances from up-and-coming Vancouver artists Jordan Klassen and Kytami before kicking back with the whole family for a free outdoor screening of the newest Disney animated classic, Frozen.
The celebration begins at 4 p.m. with lots of free family fun activities as the finale for Richmond’s Summer PlayDays program.
Fast rising Western Canadian singer-songwriter Jordan Klassen heads the entertainment line-up with a performance at 7 p.m. Following the release of his nationally-acclaimed full-length debut Repentance, Jordan’s catchy folk-pop ballads are gaining critical and popular acclaim. “Violinistextremist” Kytami also hits the stage at 5:45 p.m. With her fusion of classical violin and fiddle mixed with modern hip-hop, Kytami’s award-winning musical style will quickly get you on your feet dancing.
The evening wraps up with the screening of Frozen on a 40-foot screen at 8:15 p.m., proceeded by a Let It Go singalong with The Frozen Queen.
