There’s fantastic food, music, and activities all weekend, but if you only have time for the highlights, check out the Logger Sports competition, showcasing impressive logging skills, and the Show ‘n Shine car show featuring vintage vehicles. The festival also hosts a good old fashioned parade and the longest-running consecutive Maypole dance in North America (over 100 years!).
If you’re looking to relax with friends old or new, enjoy come live music, local food vendors, and artisan crafts in Vimy Park, for a perfect family-friendly event to kick off the summer season.
