Peter returns to one of his most favourite Puffin concert locations for a highly interactive guitar singalong concert, designed for kids up to age 12, parents, & grown-ups who still have a kid heart! Come help us celebrate the 20th anniversary of this welcoming community hub & meeting place.
Peter has been tailoring concerts for the Beaumont Library since the beginning... & has helped celebrate the 10th Anniversary, Summer Reading Club, Family Literacy Day, etc.
Peter says: "I'm super-fortunate to witness & be part of the library's growing influence and essential role in being an exciting hub for citizens connecting with each other & beyond!
Seems like to getting to help with celebrating 20 years for the Library, is also a celebration of the Town of Beaumont growing into a small City!”
We'll have songs about storytelling, being kind, caring for each other and the planet, while we celebrate the people who make Beaumont Library so amazing, for 20 years and counting!
And YES... there will be cake! Event starts at 11:45, concert at 12:15.

Love Love LOVE the Beaumont Library! So many Puffin concerts in this lovely venue over the years. So many smiles and sound of kids singing rise up in my mind's eye / ear! Absolutely honoured to help celebrate the wind-up of the amazing Summer Reading Program!
Port Alberni Association for Community Living, 4521 Dogwood St., Port Alberni, BC
We are sad to not be able to reach Port Alberni this time, applaud the Library Team for needing to make a tough decision, & will keep re-scheduling a date at top of our asap list. Long shot for September, more likely Summer 2024, along with new requests already flowing in! With Peter's show for Parksville Library at the Coombs Fairgrounds at 10am on the same day, the ongoing construction / closures of Highway 4, made it impossible to ensure that he could reach Port Alberni by 3pm (or at all), & then possibly not get back out to the Cowichan Lake show the next day. Thanks to all for their understanding. Peter wrote a special letter to the kids of the Summer Reading Program, saying "just a postponement"... to boost their spirits, and encourage their reading progress!
Rumours growing about a special guest joining Peter on stage for the Parksville Library / Coombs show, as well as audience volunteers being able to join in on special activities, always on their own terms. We've been meeting so many amazing kid hearts at all these shows. Kids have been loving the free stickers after the concert, and parents have been purchasing merch reminders (t shirts, hats, NEW limited edition Puffin patches, CDs & sheet music) of a peak summer experience for the whole family. Paypal, Interac etransfer, cheque and cash accepted. Note time change from 10:15am to 10am start time. With all the positive press around Peter's 20 shows on the Island, a couple of start times have drifted... in keeping with the Summer Reading Program theme: Journey Through Time!
Cameron Bandshell, Beacon Hill Park, 100 Cook Street, Victoria
