The breakfast begins at 9 a.m. and VAD runs until 1 p.m.
Also on Saturday is the Lake Windermere Regatta, from noon until 4 p.m., at Kinsmen Beach.
The regatta features races showcasing skills at sailing, swimming, canoeing and kayaking. A note to sailors: You must pre-register and bring your own boat the day of the event.
In addition, there are other competitions such as a beach volleyball tournament and a sand art contest.
There is a ‘Love Your Lake’ photo contest (submit your photos today) and Lake Smarts: test your knowledge about Lake Windermere at the Lake Windermere Ambassadors’ Lake Smart tent.
Prizes will be awarded for all events, and enter to win a grand prize!
All activities are free, and everyone is encouraged to join in!
