An Evening with Blue Rodeo

The Parksville Beach Festival Society, in collaboration with Collective Entertainment & Events Group Ltd., is proud to present An Evening with Blue Rodeo on Friday, August 21, 2026, at the Parksville Outdoor Theatre in the Parksville Community Park.

One of Canada’s most celebrated bands, Blue Rodeo, comes to Vancouver Island for an unforgettable summer night of live music and what promises to be the biggest musical event in Parksville’s history. With a career spanning over 40 years, Blue Rodeo has built an enduring connection with fans through their signature blend of rock, country, and roots. Sing along to iconic songs like “Try,” “Hasn’t Hit Me Yet,” and “Lost Together,” and experience the energy of a band whose live performances are as powerful as they are unforgettable.

The evening will also feature opening act Simon Clow, BC singer-songwriter who has transitioned into Canadian country music. Known for heartfelt lyrics and captivating performances, Clow has released award-winning singles and a debut record, with more new music on the way.

This is more than a concert; it’s a milestone moment for Parksville and a must-attend event of the summer.
