St. Catharines Bringing Back Some In-person Programming to the Downtown

Live concerts and a movie screening are headed to downtown St. Catharines following a long absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic

A pair of concerts and a movie in the park, are helping the City of St. Catharines bring the community together again.

With COVID-19 restrictions slowly lifting, the City’s special events team is bringing back some activities that will allow residents to enjoy some in-person programming, while ensuring compliance with the current public health guidelines. 

The City is organizing a pair of concerts, in conjunction with Niagara Artists Centre (NAC), to take place in the downtown core on Sept. 3 and 10, with plans to also host a Moonlight Flicks event on Sept. 21 in Rennie Park.

The first concert takes place Friday, Sept. 3, from 5-8, featuring Joe Lapinski, with special guest Dave Clark. They will be performing a three-hour set on the new NAC Papa Tee Showmobile. 

On Friday, Sept. 10, from 5-8 p.m, the City will then present Box Hockey Night in STC, also in conjunction with the NAC, at 210 St. Paul St. East. 

The Postmen will be performing live music, and the City will also have its box hockey setups placed throughout the site for groups to go head-to-head against family and friends, on a drop-in basis only.

The City will also welcome back Moonlight Flicks, produced in partnership by PGG Media Group, on Tuesday, Sept. 21, at Rennie Park. 

Free for families, Moonlight Flicks is an outdoor movie showcase under the stars. 

The movie being screened will be Finding Nemo.
