Please get your free tickets here:
August 6th starting at 8:45PM, a night of music, stargazing, and community—right here in Guelph.
PLEASE NOTE VENUE CHANGE
Due to new requirements for infrastructure work the Yorklands Hub site is no longer available and we wave switched our location to the Riverside Park Concert Shell. We apologize for any inconvenience.
It’s not your typical concert venue—we’re setting up in the old prison yard at the Yorklands Green Hub. There’s no stage, no spotlight, and you’ll want to bring your own chair and a flashlight (bonus points if it’s red-filtered for night vision). You’ll walk a little, maybe get bitten by a mosquito or two—but trust us, it’s worth it.
The music? Seriously good. The telescopes? Built by hand and run by passionate volunteers. The sky? Dark, quiet, and full of stories waiting to be seen.
You’ll hear a live symphony under open air, then peek through a telescope and spot things like star clusters, ancient light from deep space, and definitely a breathtaking view of the Moon up close.
It’s casual, it’s a little quirky, but it’s also kind of magical.
🪑 Bring a chair🦟 Bug spray is a good idea🔦 Flashlight for the walk back (preferably red)🚶♀️ Expect a bit of a walk through the field📍Riverside Park Concert Shell Yorklands Green Hub — the old Guelph Correctional Centre
Come for the music. Stay for the stars. Share a night that’s low-budget, high-quality, and totally unforgettable.
