Live on Agricola

Live on Agricola returns to the North End this Friday, September 25, as part of its ongoing summer series. It's an outdoor music session held right on Agricola Street, and if you've been around the neighbourhood this season, you've likely seen it pop up. The series runs every Friday from early July through to October, with a new line-up of two or more artists each week, so this is one of the later ones before the weather turns.

This particular session is held outside 2536 Agricola Street, in the Carlo Auto parking lot. If you're coming from the nearby bars, it's across from Stillwell Beer Garden and The Brasserie, so it's easy to find if you're already in the area. Because it's an outdoor setup in a parking lot, the music stays out in the open rather than tucked inside a club, and the Friday night slot means you can drift in and out without having to commit to a whole evening.

Since the series brings in a different set of artists every week, the sound changes from one Friday to the next. You'll get at least two acts on the bill, and because it's a free event, it's a low-stakes way to catch some live music in the neighbourhood without having to plan your whole night around a ticket. It's the kind of thing that works as a proper gig or just as a stop on your way to something else.

The music runs from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, and admission is free. That puts it right in the middle of the evening, so you can catch the full set and still have your whole night ahead of you.
