A detailed calendar of dates and performers is posted at centralcity.ca.
Noontime Notes concerts are performed at a temporary “PARKit” area on the plaza. “A joint partnership of the City of Surrey and Central City, PARKit is a modern gathering place for the community to meet, relax, play giant board games, and enjoy occasional programmed entertainment and events,” explains a post on Central City’s website.
