After Dark: Sparks and Rec — Summer Party Edition
August 14 - 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Sparks Fly & Chill Summer Vibes
Summer vibes come alive at our first-ever outdoor summer party edition.
At the Ken Spencer Science Park, get carried away by the sweet stylings of BC musicians, meet outdoor groups, and behold bottle rockets launched from the outdoor stage. Feeling crafty? Make your own DIY compass, a battery-free GPS for your next outdoor adventure.
Then head indoors where Sparks will literally fly—at our electricity science shows. Get awe-inspired by the musical Tesla coil and be prepared for our main event: an LED lights dance troupe performing a futuristic spectacle in mesmerizing, glowing costumes.
Sitting on the (park) fence about this? Don’t hesitate… #TreatYoSelf to After Dark.
