UPDATE: Summerfest Committee member Len Doyle tells PelhamToday that the price for Summerfest T-shirts has been dropped to $10, which will be reflected in the online ordering process by Monday, June 12.
Is it ever too early to plan for Summerfest? The Town of Pelham says no, and to prove it they are introducing a new “classic logo” T-shirt, a fundraising initiative to help support this year’s event.
What began in 2011 as a single day to celebrate the completion of the downtown streetscaping in Fonthill has since grown to a four-day festival event over the third weekend of July, which includes music and entertainment, children’s activities, retail and food vendors, arts, crafts, wine garden, beer pavilion, and Sunday morning breakfast in Peace Park
“Residents and visitors, friends and neighbours are invited to come together in Fonthill to explore our lively and walkable downtown!” says the Town. Thursday is the Opener in Peace Park where you can shop for local produce and goods at the Farmers’ Market, dine at the Supper Market and enjoy live music. “Friday and Saturday, our popular street festival returns with entertainment on the main stage on Pelham Street, outdoor patios, vendors and more. Saturday is also the day for the exciting and interactive Kids Zone in Peace Park. There’s still lots to do Sunday in the Park, with a pancake breakfast, Kids Zone, vendors, blues music in the band shell and the best small town car show in the area.”
Classic-logo T-shirts may be ordered now. All items will be shipped to the Meridian Community Centre (MCC) on June 26, and T-shirts may be picked up at the front desk after that date. The front desk will have a full listing with names and sizes ordered.
