September at Red Light 🍃

As the summer heat starts to cool down, Red Light is the spot to adjust to fall feels. Let our curated warm bowls and handcrafted teas ease you through to the next chapter / season.

We have one of our final Live Music Wednesdays of the summer from 7–9 PM, so come down for a special night to start closing out the series.

Starting today, local textile artist Tracy Fillion of We Are Stories is featured for our September art exhibition. Tracy crafts slow fashion, hand-woven pieces, and naturally plant-dyed garments right here in the Kootenays. Her work will be up on the walls all month long for viewing, so come check out these one-of-a-kind wearable art pieces while you’re in for food or music.

We’re also marking a huge milestone on September 25th: Red Light’s 10 Year Anniversary. We’ll be running a little later than normal to mark the occasion, with some of Red Light’s favorite resident DJ’s. Come celebrate a decade with us.

Live Music Wednesdays:
S.9: HALF/ASIAN with Amy the CODA

Weekend DJs and Events:
S.4: We Are Stories Art Exhibition w/ music by Prophet
S.11: Evan XP
S.18: Wild Machine
S.25: Red Light 10 Year Anniversary w/ music by Wabi & Friends
