“The Freedom Mobile Arch is a new home for music, art and culture in British Columbia and we are so proud to feature BC and Canadian artists for the Opening Night Celebration,” says PNE President and CEO Shelley Frost. “This evening signifies the PNE’s dedication to our cultural and creative communities, and our belief in the opportunity a world-class venue like the Freedom Mobile Arch gives as a gathering place for shared experiences.”
The Opening Night Celebration will be a powerful, theatrical event that reflects the spirit of British Columbia. The program will spotlight’s homegrown talent alongside marquee names, many of whom have deep ties to the PNE and Vancouver. The evening will feature over 200 performers and is designed to reflect the creative spirit of our province, and of the shared history of the PNE and the role it has played in the collective memories of our province.
