For over 30 years, Symphony in the Park has been a summer favourite, not only to the residents of Burnaby, but to patrons from the all over the region. This free, outdoor concert features the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra performing exceptional symphonic music surrounded by the beauty of Burnaby’s Deer Lake Park.

This year’s performance of Symphony in the Park will transport listeners to other worlds, whether it’s the story of British spy (Monty Norman’s James Bond Theme), an adventure through another galaxy (Suite for Orchestra: III. Imperial March by John Williams) or the tale of a young wizard (William’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone I. Hedwig’s Theme).

Come early for free family activities and food trucks, bring a blanket or chair and a picnic and settle in for a wonderful evening with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

2024 sees the return of Opera in Park (July 14 at 7:30 pm) for their 3rd performance in Deer Lake Park. Powerhouse singers and the Vancouver Opera Orchestra will perform instantly recognizable classics featuring music from VO’s 2024–2025 Season including Puccini’s sublime masterpiece Madama Butterfly, Strauss’ hilarious operetta Die Fledermaus and a few additional pieces from both composers.
