The Cherry Park Neighbourhood Association is hosting the 12th annual Cherry Festival on Saturday July 6th from 11 am to 6 pm in Cherry Park. The purpose of the festival is to build community by bringing people into our neighborhood, to fill the park with a festive atmosphere and to celebrate the cherry harvest.
The Cherry Park Neighbourhood Association (CPNA) was founded over 15 years ago. Its goals are to foster a safe, healthy and vibrant community, to encourage participation of all residents in the area and in all age groups, to co-operate with existing groups, to encourage the best use of current assets, to be as open as possible without being denominational or partisan and to encourage civic participation by its members. The Cherry Festival is one of the numerous events that we hold each year to realize these goals. Details of the CPNA events can be found at http://cherrypark.blogspot.ca/
The festival has grown from a small gathering at the entrance to the park to an event that attracts over 5,000 people. This year’s attractions include Eric Traplin, theCherry Train, vintage cars, a jumping room, carousel swing, mini-putt golf and a climbing wall.
We will be holding a silent auction with items donated by local businesses.
Of course there will be lots of great food, cherry products andfresh cherries. The All Things Cherry area will include delicious cherry pies, tarts and cherry squares made by the Hillcrest bakery in Floradale, cherry jam, ice cream and fresh cherries.
It is a great family event full of activities and local vendors and products. There is plenty of free parking in the parking lot on Dominion St.
