Please note that the Summer Concert Series will not be running for the 2022 season. See our Movies in the Square page for the return of nights under the stars at Transcona Centennial Square!
Presented by:
To help keep our community safe amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, last year’s concert series was available to watch right from the comfort of your own home! Streamed virtually on our Facebook Page on Friday nights throughout the summer, last year’s line up showcases local artists performing inside some of Transcona’s iconic entertainment venues: The Royal George Hotel, The Silver Spike Saloon and the Central Hotel, as well as a special performance by musicians from the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra!
Although we cannot gather in person for live performances, we encourage you to grab your favorite take out from each venue, and enjoy the show online.
Artists from different genres and local house bands play some famous hits and even some brand new, never heard before, music. We hope you enjoyed!

The Transcona BIZ would like to thank all the artists that performed for us, some that had not practiced in over a year and yet still did an amazing job! Thank you to the venues: The Royal George Hotel, The Silver Spike Saloon, and the Central Hotel for allowing us in your space during these uncertain times. A huge thank you to Club Regent Casino & Events Centre for making this possible, without your support we would not have been able to bring these concerts to the community. Thank you to Red Tie Productions: Clint, Sean, and Kristin for guiding us through this adventure. And to everybody for watching and supporting our local businesses, this has been a hard 15 months and your ongoing support and dedication to the community is what keeps the business owners proud to be apart of Transcona’s community.
