Northview Park in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, hosted a free afternoon concert and lemonade fundraiser on September 5, 2026. The event, organized by the Lyrics and Lemonade team, celebrated its tenth anniversary by collecting donations for the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Attendees enjoyed live music while volunteers served lemonade, with all proceeds directed to the hospital’s programs for sick children.
The celebration began a decade ago as a modest lemonade stand. Over the years, the initiative expanded into a community concert that draws families and local residents. Organizers noted that the growth reflects sustained community interest and ongoing support for the hospital’s needs. The event’s format this year combined musical performances with the original lemonade sales, maintaining the charitable focus that defined its inception.
The Montreal Children’s Hospital is the designated beneficiary of the fundraiser. Funds raised at the concert are intended to support the hospital’s care for children facing serious illnesses. By offering a free concert, the organizers aim to encourage broad participation, allowing the community to contribute without an admission fee while still providing an opportunity to donate through the lemonade sales and other contributions.
The concert featured a variety of local performers, creating an inclusive atmosphere for families. Volunteers managed the lemonade stand, handling preparation and sales throughout the afternoon. The event’s timing, set in early September, provided a welcoming outdoor setting before the onset of colder weather.
Since its start as a simple stand, Lyrics and Lemonade has become a recurring fixture in the area’s charitable calendar. The tenth‑year milestone underscores a continued partnership between community organizers and the Montreal Children’s Hospital, reinforcing the role of local events in supporting health services for children.
