“Summer Fest is one of our favourite ways to bring families and neighbours together,” committee chair Carrie Morin said in a media release. “We’re proud to offer something for everyone and look forward to seeing our community come out and enjoy the weekend, rain or shine.”

Access to kids’ attractions is available with the purchase of a $5 activity bracelet each day. Entry to the event is $2 for adults and seniors each day, and children under two years of age get in for free.

The Vendor Marketplace will run both days from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. featuring a wide range of local products. There will also be food trucks, a penny table, and a car show.

To support accessibility and inclusion, a quiet hour will take place from 10-11 a.m.
