Burnaby's StreetFest on Central Canada Day street party is returning July 1.

Burnaby has announced the lineup for its staple Canada Day event StreetFest on Central.

Dear Rouge (duo Drew and Danielle McTaggart) will headline the show at Central Park with other musical acts including Juno Award-nominated R&B/soul singer Tanika Charles, jazzy emo/indie-rock locals Tiger Really and singer-songwriter Hayley Wallis.

"StreetFest on Central gets bigger and better each year and the festival is quickly earning a reputation as one of the best ways to celebrate Canada Day in Metro Vancouver," said Mayor Mike Hurley in a press release.

"We're so thrilled to be welcoming back Dear Rouge as our headliner this year, 10 years after they helped kick off Burnaby's first Canada Day concert at Swangard Stadium."

Roads will be closed along Patterson Avenue, Central Boulevard and Beresford Street between Patterson and Willingdon avenues.

Guests are encouraged to use public transportation; the city will have a bike valet available between the Patterson and Mayberry tennis courts.
