Shine Bright New West Anvil Centre
Music, Magic and Merriment
Shine Bright New West returns this year bigger and brighter bringing everyone together in the spirit of the season. Enhancing the full roster of activities and light displays throughout the city, the Anvil Centre will have window performances for all to enjoy along with eight separate live performances of music, dance, and magic that will take place on Level 1 and 3.
The free window performances on Anvil Centre’s Level One will add theatre, music & laughter to your walk as you enjoy the light displays throughout downtown New Westminster. They range from music to comedy, dance to poetry and more!
The ticketed seated theatre performances taking place throughout the holiday range from a jazz trio, a Latin flavored musical group, a master illusionist, along with an interactive puppet show, a performance of Capoeira, family performances with children’s music, a live looping performance of percussion and rhythmic rhymes and a rollicking Ceilidh with a Celtic folk band joined by Highland dancers. All of these shows are ticketed events that are on sale now at TicketsNW!
Due to Provincial Health Orders, we have capped ticket sales on all shows for Shine Bright New West at 50%.
We reaffirm our commitment to providing our audience, performers and patrons the opportunity to experience arts and community connection in a manner that is as safe as we can possibly make it.
Vaccine passports and photo ID are required for everyone 12 and up and masks are mandatory within the venue.
