The White Rock BIA-presented TD Concerts at the Pier series is back – with what executive director Alex Nixon is calling “our best series ever.”
An outstanding line-up of musical headliners – including South Surrey’s own Lee Aaron, Colin James, Men Without Hats and The Matinee – will hit White Rock’s waterfront for five concerts through July and August.
Although increasing production costs have forced the axing of the popular Five Corners venue, the series will occupy two temporary Marine Drive stage venues: West Beach (at the White Rock Museum and Archives and Memorial Park) and East Beach (in the parking lot adjacent to Grand Chief Bernard Robert Charles Memorial Plaza).

Men Without Hats, with the opening act of White Rock’s Ben Dunnill and his Band, will take the stage July 20 at East Beach.

The grand finale of the series will be Colin James, with opening act James Brandon Isaak (Aug. 24, East Beach).
