Families across Barrie were able to beat the heat at the splash pad at Lampman Lane Park in the morning and hit the tennis courts at Painswick Park that afternoon. The On The Move locations featured an animal education show from Speaking of Wildlife, Nature Play with the City's Parks Planning team, giant games with the City’s Summer team, face painting, busker performances, interactive games, inflatables, arts and crafts, live music and more.
The celebrations also included a food truck festival at Centennial Park which featured performance by the Ultimutts Animal Actors Show, various roaming and musical buskers, a DJ dance party, a fire show and more. A Family Zone was provided by Moonwalk Entertainment with paid activities including inflatables, games, face painting, fun food and more. The fireworks show was spectacular, visible from multiple vantage points along the waterfront, it was a great way to end the celebrations.
