The City of Moncton is excited to announce that Juno Award-winning band Lighthouse will be taking the stage as the headlining act for the Atlantic Nationals Automotive Extravaganza’s Friday Night Street Party on July 11.

Known for their signature blend of rock, jazz, and brass-infused sounds, Lighthouse has been a staple of Canadian music since the late 1960s. With iconic hits like One Fine Morning and Sunny Days, their uplifting melodies and dynamic performances continue to captivate audiences of all ages.

“We are eagerly anticipating the Friday night street party,” says Bill Doherty, show Chair. “With this being the 25th anniversary of the Atlantic Nationals, we wanted to make it extra special. Lighthouse will set the perfect tone for a night of music, cars, and celebration.”

Main Street will burst with activity as it hosts the All-Day Cruise-In as of 8 a.m. on July 11. Later in the evening, at 6 p.m., the main stage will come alive with performances by Eddie Chase and the Graffiti four, Midnight Ramblers, Spoiled Rotten, and Old School, setting the stage for the headlining act. In addition to the Friday night programming, the Atlantic Nationals Automotive Extravaganza will extend throughout the weekend at Moncton’s Centennial Park.
