When Akoustik returns to Vanier on July 15, the music won’t be the only reason to come out.
This year, we’re introducing a new perk for concertgoers: the Akoustik Merchant Offers Program. Participating restaurants, cafés, and shops along Beechwood Avenue and neighbouring streets will be offering exclusive perks — from percentage discounts to free items — to anyone attending the Wednesday evening concert series.
The premise is simple: come for the music, stay for the neighbourhood. Concertgoers can enjoy dinner before the 6:00 PM set, dessert between artists, or a bite to take home after the show — while getting a warm welcome and a small perk from Vanier’s local business owners.
To redeem an offer, concertgoers just need to mention Akoustik when ordering. No ticket required, no forms — just a friendly heads-up at the counter.
For Vanier merchants, this program is a chance to connect with new customers and be part of one of Ottawa’s most beloved summer events. Whether you want to offer a discount, a free item, or something creative, we’ll help you build an offer that works for your business.
Interested merchants can get in touch with JM, our Merchant Services Manager, at mms@vanierbia.com to join the program. We’re actively signing up new participants throughout the summer, so it’s never too late to come on board.
Akoustik 2026 runs every Wednesday from July 15 through September 23. Learn more about the concert series at vanierbia.com/akoustik.
