An Outdoor Celebration for the Whole Family

Share:

Fireworks

On June 2–3, the Grande Pointe Homeowners Association is hosting a celebration at their community’s park at 423 Bernat Road. The outdoor event will be a fun weekend for all ages, and the proceeds will help to continue the park’s development. 

The weekend will feature a slo-pitch tournament, with accompanying beer gardens. Although the teams have already been selected, there is much more to enjoy. On Friday night, the band The Other Side will play from 9:00–12:30. The six-piece band’s music is old-time rock and they’ll be playing on a big stage. Fireworks will be set off at 10:30 p.m. 

Saturday’s festivities start off with a pancake breakfast at 9:00 a.m. A flea market put together by local businesses will run until 3:00 p.m. The 40 booths will feature everything from homemade accessories to baked goods to bath and beauty. Food trucks will be set up in the park throughout the day. 

The kids centre will have a craft table for kids to create, Lulu Bell the clown, face-painting, and balloon-making. The car show will showcase old and classic vehicles for auto enthusiasts to come out and admire.

The celebration wouldn’t be complete without live entertainment, and that’s why The Travis Barre Band will take the stage and perform country covers from 4:00 until 7:00 p.m. 

Tickets cost $12.50 for Friday’s festivities and can be purchased at the park. Saturday is free of charge.
