Abbotsford receives the gift of music from Envision Financial

SPEND YOUR SATURDAY NIGHTS AT LOCAL COFFEE HOUSES
ENJOYING THE SOUNDS OF ABBOTSFORD’S FINEST MUSICIANS  

Abbotsford Arts Council, in partnership with Envision Financial, is pleased to announce the return of the very popular Envision Coffee House Concert Series.

Every Saturday evening from April to the end of June and then again from September to the end of November, residents will have an opportunity to hear free, live music in various genres such as jazz, blues, country, pop, rock, bluegrass, folk and more.  

This wonderful series provides a great opportunity for local musicians to perform in a relaxed and casual atmosphere while residents enjoy the music of these talented local artists. This year, concert goers will also be able to vote for their favorite musicians to play on “Fan Favorite Nights.”

“Envision is always looking for innovative ways to support the arts and bring the community together,” explains Susan Byrom, Envision’s corporate citizenship officer. “We’re excited to once again partner with the Abbotsford Arts Council and help showcase some of the amazing talent this city has to offer!”
