Festival Lawn
An Extraordinary Outdoor Venue
International artists and local Burnaby talent alike perform here every summer. Each year, thousands of people attend concerts and events on the Festival Lawn.
The Festival Lawn at Deer Lake Park is a wonderful performance venue overlooking scenic Deer Lake in the heart of the city’s arts precinct. This precious civic asset has become a favourite destination where area residents, out-of-towners and tourists celebrate arts and culture in the great outdoors.
Spirit Square
At the heart of every great community lies a site where citizens can gather for special occasions. Burnaby’s Spirit Square is located outside of the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. It's a space where larger groups assemble for public events and private celebrations. Some of the features include a large ornamental tree, lighting and seating ledges. The B.C. Spirit Square program was funded during 2008 in recognition of BC150 – British Columbia’s 150th anniversary as a Crown Colony.
