What an incredible day we had, no rain would dampen our parade as we got together under the roof of the North Peace Arena to come together and celebrate the day.

My previous attending Block Parties

in 2013 and 2014 happened on the streets in front of Moose FM yet with the quick thinking of the Moose FM team they managed to shift the venue in under 2 days and attendance hardly suffered for it.

A gathering of the community there was much to see and do for the entire family.

What caught my immediate attention was no matter where I laid my eyes all I saw were smiling happy people engaged and being entertained.

Wether it was by the live music, the vendors or sponsors booths there was a plethora of interactive experiences such as bouncy castles, art stations, face painting and opportunities to win swag through draws.

It was such a great space to meet and talk with so many people and create new visual connections with the community.

There were booths selling items and bringing awareness to causes which is awesome as visibility encourages growth.

I was only in attendance to the block party for a couple of hours today even though it went from 11-5pm. Looking through social media I see the entertainment included singers, a magician and fire performers.

This is for sure on my list of events to attend and it made me quite happy to see that in the years I was away this event has continued to grow and flourish..!

I hope to see you at the next one 🖤
