Kick off the festivities on Friday with free swimming and a free Canada Day barbecue (plus free cupcakes!), a family ball tournament, a grass smash volleyball tournament and our famous Canada Day fireworks!
Make your way to the gazebo between the District Office and Community Conference Centre on Friday and Saturday nights, where you’ll find frosty cold beverages in the beer gardens, plus a KILLER 50th Anniversary/Wildcat Days band lineup! Rock out with The Chevelles on Friday night and come back on Saturday night for Steve and the Gang, with The Rock River Rebels wrapping up! (Of course, the beer gardens are for ages 19+; but all ages are welcome to the bands in the park).
The weekend will also feature a parade, show n’ shine, pancake breakfast, fire trucks, performers, live animal shows, an art show, a Devonian concession, food trucks, Jurassic Attack monster truck, a craft fair, a book sale, inflatables and games, pool parties, face painting and balloons, stilt walkers, clowns, mini putt and Goofy golf, gold panning—and so much more!
