Bruce Power is shifting its annual summer party from the beach to Kincardine’s Davidson Centre.
The company’s 16 annual summer party will be held Saturday, July 20, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Block Party will feature a free family midway, inflatables, face painting and snacks.
One of the highlights will be the Zacada Circus Show, which stars former Cirque du Soleil artists and features hand balancers, acrobats, and aerialists. The circus shows will be held on the arena floor of the Davidson Centre at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. with limited seating for each show.
The free midway rides and inflatables get underway at 11 a.m. and free carnival snacks will be offered starting at noon, while quantities last. There are also free public swims from noon-1 p.m., 2-3 p.m. and 4-5 p.m.
The day will be capped off with fireworks on the beach at dusk.
There will be no parking at the Davidson Centre, so shuttle buses will be running from five different locations including Bruce Power’s MCR Training Facility at 380 Gary St., Kincardine District Secondary School, Huron Heights Public School, Kincardine Curling Club, and Bruce Power’s Training Centre on Princes Street.
"We enjoy such tremendous support and this is our way of thanking the community, our employees, and celebrating summer in beautiful Bruce County," said David Abbott, Bruce Power’s director of community and Indigenous relations. "We hope people from all across the county will come to Kincardine and enjoy the many activities we have planned."
