Under The Bridge is a monthly outdoor community dance in Kitchener, Ontario that brings together people of all ages to celebrate music, movement, and creativity.

 

Created by DJ JESS in May 2023, Under The Bridge invites local artists, makers, performers, and service providers to take part in our Community Showcase. This is a space to share your music, handmade goods, art, food, talents, and more. Whether you’re a DJ, musician, juggler, magician, cook, crafter, or just someone with a cool side project, this is your chance to connect and shine. The evening kicks off with a family dance party and kid-friendly entertainment before transitioning into a multi-genre musical experience featuring DJs, musicians, and more. Under The Bridge is a joyful, expressive space for the whole community :))
