This full day of family fun will have your belt busting as you work your way through the many food vendors sampling tasty food from perogies to pulled pork sliders, ice cream and savoury Asian treats. You betcha, there will be ice cream.
Once you’ve satisfied your palate, you’ll be ready for a premium craft ale in the beer gardens or checking out the vintage metal at the classic car show. As the sun sets on the day, in celebration of the upcoming Canada Day, fireworks will light up the sky.
Sound like a terrific way to usher in summer in Alberta? We thought so.
Celebrate the multiculturalism of Vermilion and enjoy live music, an outdoor movie, fireworks, and countless food vendors.
