Sounds of the summer return to downtown CBC Vancouver’s free summer-long concert series, Musical Nooners, returns to the outdoor stage at the CBC Vancouver Broadcast Centre on Friday, July 4 at noon with a performance from Canadian indie roots soul band, The Boom Booms. “We hear from Vancouverites all year long who eagerly await the start of CBC Vancouver’s Musical Nooners,” says Johnny Michel, managing director, CBC in BC and Alberta. “The concert series has become an iconic status of summer in Vancouver. It gives me true pleasure to see the community come together, dancing and singing each day, while being exposed to new local and even international musical talent.” Now in its fifth year, the Musical Nooners free concert series runs Monday to Friday, from noon to 1pm, at the CBC Broadcast Centre at 700 Hamilton Street (between Robson and Georgia) from July 4-August 22. The show kicks off with CBC News Vancouver host, Gloria Macarenko and a band that got its start in East Vancouver, playing regular block parties. Inspired by world music, The Boom Boom’s blend of Latin, pop-rock, funk, reggae and soul forms the quintessential sounds of summer. And for a sneak peak at the following week’s lineup: • Monday, July 7 – Tanga • Tuesday, July 8 – Mani Khaira • Wednesday, July 9 – The Tourist Company • Thursday, July 10 – Jasper Sloan Yip • Friday, July 11 – Kobo Town For more information, go to CBCc.ca/bc.

Bring the beach blanket, your bathing suit, your roller skates, and your appetite; the city’s yummiest food trucks will be headed to Sunset Beach (south of Beach between Thurlow and Bute) on June 27 from 5pm till sundown. The free arts, food and music event, by the same folks organize Food Cart Fest, will run July 11 and August 15 as well. Attendees can expect delicious, possibly even free food; a BLIM art market; an outdoor roller disco; a sand castle competition judged by local architects and art critics and more. “We’re bringing a classic California beach party experience to Vancouver,” said Arrival Agency’s Daniel Fazio in a press release. “In addition to outstanding food, there’ll also be the expansive, irreverent fun people have come to expect and love at our events,” And here’s where the free food part comes in: mobile payment platform nTrust will be giving away up to $10,000 worth of food at the June 27 event. To claim a free meal, sign up for an nTrust Cloud Money account beforehand, and pick up your free meal voucher at the event from their booth. This voucher enables you to pay for special menu items like fresh salads from Culver City Salads, Key lime pie popsicles from Johnny’s Pops, froyo with bananas from Sweet Ride and more with a few taps of your smartphone.
