The City of Estevan has announced it will host a pre-Canada Day celebration for the second straight year.
Celebrate the True North will take place on June 29 at 3 p.m. at Centennial Park in Estevan.
The event will open with bouncy castles, lawn games, food trucks and face painting at 3 p.m. Children’s entertainer Funtazm will perform at 4 p.m.
A beer garden will open at 8 p.m., and live music from the band Men Without Shame will start at 9 p.m.
Fireworks will occur at 10 p.m.
Rebecca Westling, the destination marketing/communications consultant for the City of Estevan, said the city wanted to have a pre-Canada Day bash this year after the success of last year’s event, when a large crowd gathered in central Estevan to celebrate on the day before Canada’s 150th birthday.
It will be particularly exciting to have fireworks this year, she said.
Westling added that the pre-Canada Day bash will be one of several marquee events happening in the community this summer, ranging from a large-mouth bass tournament at Boundary Dam on June 16, to the Family Fun Day at the Woodlawn Regional Park’s Boundary Dam Beach Site on July 29, to the Alice Cooper concert at Affinity Place on August 26.
