Local Vibe

Victoria Park has been home to many good times this summer like the Non-Violence Festival, Ribfest & Craft Beer Show, and many others. The summer is not over yet, and neither are the good times in the park. Today, the LINK Picnic Festival is being held in Victoria Park in the center of Kitchener.

LINK Picnic Festival

This family event is one that you really don’t want to miss. It offers several opportunities to watch, participate, and learn. From the Children’s Carnival Parade to steelpan yard and the drumming tent, there will surely be something to keep you interested. Perhaps it will be the three-legged race, the storytelling, the limbo contest or the Ethiopian & Eritrean coffee ceremony that will catch your attention. These are all just a small sample of what is available for you to take in during this fantastic event.
