Heritage Festival full of spectacular live entertainment!

“We are thrilled to showcase fresh performances and local talent at the festival this year, appealing to a wide range of ages and interests,” says Town of St. Marys Events Coordinator Alanna Bowes. “Saturday’s lineup will surely be a standout feature.” 

The intersection of Queen and Water Streets will feature demonstrations and performances throughout the day from Bex in Motion, a hula hoop and comedy artist, plus, a strolling stilt walker, thanks to the generosity of McLean Taylor Construction Ltd.  

There will also be local performances throughout the day from various entertainers, including Community Players and young musicians from The World’s Coolest Music Store. 

In addition to these feature performers, youngsters can enjoy a downtown Kids Zone. This area will include inflatables, face painting, activities from the Town of St. Marys EarlyON Centre, the St. Marys Museum, and the St. Marys Public Library.  

Be sure to stop by Milt Dunnell Field to check out the St. Marys Farmers’ Market between 8:00 a.m. and noon for a wide range of local produce and fresh foods brought to you by local farmers, as well as craft products created by members of the community.  

Downtown will be the place to be the Saturday evening of the festival, as a concert featuring wonderful local acts takes the stage. Frank St. Germain and Friends (rock band) will kick-off the show, followed by Johnny & Stacey (duo), York Street Thought Process (indie folk duo), and Sweetwood Mac (Fleetwood Mac cover band) will perform as the sun sets.  

Following tradition, the Rotary Fireworks will light up the sky around dusk (approximately 10:00 p.m.). The fireworks will be set off from the Grand Trunk trestle, and St. Marys Rotarians will be present in the area with donation buckets to help support the display expenses.
