On July 1, celebrate Canada Day presented by Bell and the 6th anniversary of Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre (NMC). Visitors can explore Canada’s musical mosaic through new exhibitions, catch Dueling Piano Kings’ all-request piano show, enjoy hands-on, family-friendly activities, and see pop-up performances across multiple floors.
Studio Bell will be open on July 1 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm with pay-what-you-can admission. Beat the line and book your tickets here. ***Please note: If you'd like to pay an amount under $10, you can do so in person at the front desk upon your arrival.
To thank the community for six years of support, NMC will be offering 50% off all NMC Memberships for one-day only on July 1. Memberships will be available for purchase online at studiobell.ca/become-a-member and in-person at Studio Bell.
Visitors are encouraged to head over to the legendary King Eddy after their day of discovery. The King Eddy’s main floor and rooftop will be rocking across both floors with brews, bites, and live tunes, from 11:00 am ‘til close. See full lineup and schedule for NMC Presents: No Cover Canada Day at the King Eddy here.
