Calling all Beatles fans! Get ready to twist and shout as Vancouver Beatlemania! returns to Massey Theatre on June 14 for a nostalgic night celebrating one of the greatest bands in music history.

Presented by Ice Cap Entertainment, the live concert features The Liverpool 4, Canada's premier Beatles tribute band. Audiences will be taken on a musical journey through every era of The Beatles' legendary career — from their early days of Beatlemania to timeless classics like Let It Be.

Known for their authentic sound, energetic performances, and playful stage presence, The Liverpool 4 have entertained audiences across North America for nearly two decades, recreating the magic, excitement, and charm that made The Beatles a worldwide phenomenon.

The two-hour show begins at 7:30 p.m. and features two sets with a 20-minute intermission. Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering the Fab Four for the first time, expect an evening filled with iconic songs, singalongs, and plenty of feel-good memories.

Young Business Owners Take Centre Stage

Got a young entrepreneur at home with a big idea? The New West Farmers Market is giving kids and teens the chance to turn their creativity into a real business this summer through not one, but two Young Entrepreneurs Markets at Tipperary Park.

Open to aspiring entrepreneurs ages 6 to 18, the program encourages youth to create, make, bake, build, or sell products of their choice while gaining hands-on experience in business, marketing, and customer service.

Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their talents and connect with hundreds of market visitors during special Kids Market events taking place on July 2 and August 6 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Organizers say the initiative is designed to inspire confidence, creativity, and entrepreneurship while creating a fun and supportive environment for young people to test their ideas and learn valuable skills.

Whether they're selling handmade crafts, artwork, baked goods, or unique inventions, this is a chance for New Westminster's next generation of entrepreneurs to shine.
