CITY OF THOROLD
****************************
The City of Thorold is introducing a new Community Market this summer, and is kicking things off with a grand opening celebration on June 7.
“The goal of the Thorold Community Market is to support local businesses and cultivate resident engagement and Community pride,” says Mayor Terry Ugulini. “Each week, we will be inviting a community organization who provides meaningful services to the city to be featured at our community booth, where they will have the opportunity to showcase their services to people at the market. This is a great opportunity for residents and visitors to connect with local organizations and support Niagara businesses.”
The City has invited local vendors and community organizations to participate in this exciting new community initiative. Residents and visitors will enjoy an array of local shopping experiences, including farm stands, artisans, bakers and other local businesses. The free market will run every Wednesday between June and August from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Battle of Beaverdams Park.
The grand opening will include a special musical performance by Niagara’s greatest party band, The Figure Four, and family entertainment, including face painting and balloon twisting.
“I’d like to thank Council and staff for their hard work and collaborative efforts in bringing the Thorold Community Market to life,” says Manoj Dilwaria, chief administrative officer. “Our team has been working closely with community stakeholders and volunteers over the last few months to organize this event for our community. We look forward to seeing residents and visitors join us at the grand opening on June 7!”
The City is still accepting applications for vendors, entertainers, community groups and sponsors throughout the summer.
