Step right up for a day of activities to launch a summer of fun downtown Timmins.
The BIA's weekly Urban Park and Urban Market launch this week.
The Urban Park is held Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It launches today (July 5). The Urban Market is Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Because of the Connecting Link work on Algonquin Boulevard and the detours, this year's activities are on Cedar Street South between Third Avenue and Second Avenue. That section of the road will be closed from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the days of the BIA events.
The Urban Park runs Wednesdays from July 5 to Aug. 23. The market is Thursdays from July 6 to Sept. 28.
Each week is a different theme at the park. Today's launch is all about the carnival.
The themes for the rest of the summer are:
- July 12 - Superhero Week
- July 19 - Music Week
- July 26 - Christmas in July
- Aug. 2 - Pirate Week
- Aug. 9 - Halloween
- Aug. 16 - Medieval Times
- Aug. 23 - Science Week
