Local musicians can apply now to be part of the annual Music on the Wharf summer concert series in Maple Ridge.
Every winter, the Maple Ridge Historical Society takes new submissions, and they will be accepted until this Friday, Feb. 20 at 4 p.m.
Music on Wharf has been running on the historic Port Haney Wharf for over 20 years and it consists of four concerts over July and August. Each performance runs approximately 90 minutes, with a 15 minute break between two sets. It is a free community event in an outdoor setting by the river. Donations are accepted to help offset the cost of the series and raise funds for the Historical Society.
Artists are paid a $750 honorarium for their performance, and they are permitted to sell merchandise to help generate more revenue and awareness for their music.
The society’s 2026 Music on the Wharf dates are July 13 and 27, and Aug. 10 and 24. Musicians are asked to please only apply if one or more of those dates works.
After the Feb. 20 deadline any applications received will be short listed and sent to a committee for consideration and review. Selection decisions will be made by early March, with offers sent out shortly thereafter.
