The upcoming “Parkhill Open for Business” event, seeks to rejuvenate the main street after facing disruptions due to construction.
Natalie Core, Economic Development and Communications Coordinator for North Middlesex, says that the project, initiated to update underground watermain infrastructure, commenced last October.
Scheduled for Saturday, August 19, the festivities promise a dynamic blend of activities and attractions.
Children can enjoy bouncy castles, face painting, and a scavenger hunt with opportunities to win gift cards from participating businesses.
Live music performed by local artists will entertain from 11 am to 5 pm, alongside a bustling market from 8:30 am to 1 pm.
Additionally, a beer garden will be open from 1 pm to 5 pm, and the Optimist car show in Coronation Park is set to further enliven the streets of Parkhill.
Core underlined the significance of the event as a platform to showcase Parkhill’s revitalized main street.
This celebration aims to draw both locals and visitors, reinforcing the region’s accessibility and vibrant downtown culture.
The event also serves as a token of appreciation for the steadfast local businesses that persevered through the construction period.
Small businesses are the lifeblood of the community, and this event embodies the community’s gratitude for their resilience.
The event’s realization is attributed to the collaborative efforts of Mainstreet Middlesex, Breex Construction, and Level Project Management.
Their support has not only covered the event’s cost but also brought a burst of color to downtown through new banners and frames.
This event encapsulates the community’s unity and its determination to bounce back stronger, inviting all to partake in the festivities and celebrate Parkhill’s enduring spirit.
