When you start to get hungry, enjoy delicious treats from local food vendors on site, along with tasty licensed beverages offered by Slabtown Armoury, to satisfy all your cravings!

As evening approaches, join us back in the park to enjoy refreshing licensed beverages from Slabtown Armoury and delicious eats from Smash N Grab Burger, available from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Beginning at 8:30 p.m., get ready to rock out to a live performance by 54-40, legendary Canadian alternative rock band known for their timeless sound and decades of unforgettable hits.
