The piano is back on the bandstand in Memorial Peace Park.
An unveiling ceremony will be held for 2017 Pianos on the Street – Maple Ridge, on Saturday, July 29 at 11 a.m. The event will feature free cake.
“Last year was great to see people in the community embrace playing the piano in the bandstand, from little kids to accomplished musicians,” said Dipti Chavan, events co-ordinator with the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association.
This is a third year artists with with the the Ridge Meadows Association of Community Living painted the piano at Vicuna Studio.
