Joint Fundraising Event

July 21, 24, 28, 31 • 6:00 pm • $103.00
($25 tax receipt issued)
 
Stirring Shakespeare, a scrumptious dinner, and spectacular fireworks make an explosive trio on these four fabulous evenings.
Bard-B-Q & Fireworks evenings begin at 6:00 pm with the first half of either Much Ado About Nothing in the Mainstage tent or Falstaff in the Studio Stage. During an extended intermission, patrons are treated to an informal salmon barbecue that they enjoy against Vanier Park’s magnificent natural backdrop of mountains, sea and sky. Following the second half of the performances, guests take coffee and treats to a private seating area that provides an excellent view of the Celebration of Light fireworks.
Always a sell-out, this event is a joint fundraiser for Bard on the Beach and the HR MacMillan Space Centre.
