Open Space Saturdays

Summer is a time for relaxation and celebration. And often in New Westminster, a time filled with incredible community festivals. Many of these festivals won’t be able to happen this year.

We present Open Space Saturdays. An outdoor arts and community space activating the outdoor areas around Massey Theatre.

The program has been designed by our Indigenous Cultural Development Director Ronnie Dean Harris who, together with the whole Massey team and Community Partners, will develop a casual, eclectic program for all ages filled with arts, artisans, food and most of all fun.

Open Space Saturdays will run every summer Saturday from 11am to 10pm with programs for all ages starting July 10th.

On Site Activities may include:

• Indigenous and cultural arts and crafts
• Visual Arts and Video projections
• Literary Arts
• Dance, Music and Movement sessions
• Children’s Activities
• Outdoor Mainstage Performances
• Storytelling
• Arts and Artisan Market
• And more…

On Site Food and Beverage options may include:

• Rotating Food Trucks
• Community Food activations

Special pop-up events such as plant sales, seed exchange, positive advocacy, food, dialogue and other community priorities will be incorporated through partnerships with community organizations and groups.

Community groups are encouraged and welcomed to think about getting involved and thinking of good ways of being together in small groups and activities.

This is a time to heal and celebrate together safely and supportively. Open Space is the place to do it.
