Thereâs something for everyone at Âé¶čAVâs newest festival, Âé¶čAV Made.
The one-day-only event created by the City of Âé¶čAV is being held to celebrate the community and deliver affordable family-fun activities highlighting what makes Âé¶čAV special.
âFollowing the past couple of years, itâs even clearer that events are vital to connect us to each other,â said City of Âé¶čAV Events Services Coordinator Sarah Semeniuk. âA signature event here in Âé¶čAV will give locals something new to be proud of and an opportunity to honour our identity, history and culture. Decades from now, we want people to look back and say that they were at the first-ever Âé¶čAV Made and that it was the start of something special.â
While the event is being launched as a one-day event, the City wants to grow it to a full weekend affair by 2023 and a 10-day spectacle but 2027.
âWe listened to the feedback from residents, and our volunteers are working to bring as many of those inspired elements into this yearâs event as possible,â said resident co-chair Lance MacDonald. âBut this is just the beginning; thereâs a grander vision for what can be done in future years with more time and even greater resident support and participation.â
Some of the events include a pancake breakfast, sandcastle making contest, live music throughout the day, demos, street dancing, and much more.
Âé¶čAV Made is at City Park from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27.
