麻豆AV

Take a stroll downtown Saturday to find 麻豆AV鈥檚 biggest block party.

The 28th Downtown 麻豆AV Block Party takes place on Bernard Avenue and in Kerry Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Block Party will fill Bernard Avenue from Richter Street to The Sails with family fun activities, entertainment, the inflatable park, a three-on-three basketball tournament, the Farmers and Crafters satellite market, shopping and food.

More than 150 vendors will fill the area, with three entertainment stages.

鈥淭he farmers and crafters market is brand new, and with street basketball, Okanagan College signs up kids from all over the place,鈥� said Downtown 麻豆AV communications manager Ryan Watters.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a great way to bring down every member of your family and just walk around downtown. There鈥檚 something for everyone,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not every day you get to walk down the centre of Benard Aveune.鈥�

The Westcorp Main Stage will highlight the 200 block in Kerry Park with five live acts throughout the day.

Watters said businesses have also been endorsing the event.

Parking is free in the parkades, and it hasn鈥檛 been an issue in the past, said Watters.

鈥淭his is my first one and I鈥檓 very excited,鈥� said Downtown 麻豆AV鈥檚 new executive director Ninette Ollgaard. 鈥淎s a true newcomer, it is absolutely amazing to be part of this vibrant, downtown community event.鈥�

鈥淟ast year Downtown 麻豆AV saw 17,000 to 20,000 people experience the event and we are anticipating that again this Saturday. So come join us to walk Bernard Avenue or just hang out on one of the 31 patios and watch all the action,鈥� she said.

Bernard Avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. There will be no through traffic on Pandosy Street between Queensway Avenue and Lawrence Avenue.
