***************************
Thorold is preparing for its upcoming Canada Day and Rock ‘N Blues on the Battlefield celebrations on July 1st and 2nd at the newly renovated Battle of Beaverdams Park.
July 1st will be a fun-filled day for the entire family, featuring Bumbling Berts magic show, live music by Johnny Max Band and Vinyl Flux, and a fireworks show at the end of the evening.
Rock 'N Blues on the Battlefield follows Canada Day on July 2nd. This event pays homage to Thorold's blues legacy and honours the late Tim Sinnett, who spent many years of his life bringing blues to Thorold. Musical acts include Figure Four, The Associates, God Boogie super band, Vanessa Collier and Jack De Keyzer.
