πΈ Fun Fact @funfactmusic
Meet Fun Fact, a three-piece band serving up a mix of funk, blues, jazz and plenty of BASS. Their recipe? A chunk of funk, a pinch of blues, a dash of jazz, a heaping tablespoon of bass and a generous portion of groove. Let it marinate overnight, add your favourite beverage and you're ready for the Terrace.
Come enjoy one more lunchtime concert on the Encore Terrace before we wrap up the summer series!

π Encore Terrace at RBC Place London (on King Street)
Admission is free and everyone is welcome!
| | YORK STREET CONSTRUCTION UPDATE | | |
Almost there on York Street!
Work continues along York Street, with the roadway now paved and lane markings in place. Sidewalk work is also well underway, with a small section still being completed near the underground parking garage entrance.
York Street remains closed to through traffic between Waterloo Street and Colborne Street. However, you can still access the RBC Place London underground parking lot.
When exiting the underground lot, please yield to incoming vehicles before turning onto York Street.
A small amount of work remains directly in front of the parking garage ramp. This will require a short ramp closure once the timing is confirmed. We'll share an update when that work is scheduled.
