What's Live — Boundary Country: Nov 12–18, 2026
Holiday markets in Midway and Grand Forks, a spaghetti dinner & dance at Christina Lake, two Border Bruins home games and the Midway music jam. No named bands are booked in the Boundary this week, but two shows are on the way next weekend.
What's Live is our weekly list of live music, pub nights, Legion happenings and community events from Beaverdell to Christina Lake. To be straight with you, we couldn't find a named band booked anywhere in the Boundary for Thursday, Nov. 12 to Wednesday, Nov. 18. There's still plenty on: the first holiday markets of the season, a dinner and dance, hockey, and the Midway jam for anyone who wants to play. If you know of a gig we missed, tell us and we'll add it.
