The May long weekend is just on the horizon, and for those looking to get out and explore the city with their extra free time, London’s got some fun events on the roster.
In kicking off the summer festival season, Londoners can head to Dundas Place for the return of TD’s Sunfest Block Party. Featuring a variety of DJs and local artists, the free event will run Friday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Saturday from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Those looking to grab a quick bite in between all that dancing can also head to PoutineFest at Victoria Park until Sunday.
Fanshawe Pioneer Village will also open for its 64th season on Saturday.
“Although the museum runs year-round, our Pioneer Village portion of the art museum is open from Victoria Day right through to Thanksgiving weekend,” said Dawn Miskelly, executive director of Fanshawe Pioneer Village.
She said they’re open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, with some extra activities offered on Victoria Day.
“It’s Queen Victoria’s 204th birthday so we’ll have some speeches and some heritage dancing demonstrations, and we’ll have games out in the village as well for families to participate in.”
Miskelly highlighted some new additions to the village that are set to be showcased later this year.
