Northern Lights Festival Boreal!

Hi Everyone,

Shana and I got to go experience the many festivities this weekend! To start our day we went over to the Caruso club where the Italian festival was taking place to enjoy all the food and performances. VIVA ITALIA!!! :) They are known for their amazing porketta sandwiches, sausages and pasta! You don't even notice the wait because it is sooooooo WORTH IT! plus you get the opportunity to watch the cooks at work! It is a great way to meet other people who share the same passion, we had the opportunity to sit and talk with people, as well as enjoy some summer music. There was an area dedicated solemnly to children, this event is very family and community oriented. There is such pride in putting on this event, everyone was so friendly it was like being at home :) Before leaving we found the dessert table just piled with traditional Italian desserts needless to say I got my favorite, canolies!!! The pride in traditions and heritage was unavoidable, such an amazing experience.

We finished our day at the Northern lights Festival Boreal which was located at Laurentian University. This is by far my favorite festival, there is just so much interaction, intrinsic artwork and accessories, as well as a variety of musical talents. People were friendly and enthusiastic about sharing their passion with one an other, what an amazing atmosphere to be surrounded in. There was so much for the kids to be involved with from face painting, to musical performances and painting artwork. There was equally as many attractions for the adults from musical performances, to artwork, accessories, clothing etc... There was the freedom to roam around, interact with a variety of individuals and even the opportunity to give back to the community. Walking around and interacting with the variety of events going on around the grounds was enough to create an appetite! The food was Divine and there was a diversity of options available for everyone. I made it my mission to get some Nana's kettle corn and a beaver tail!!!! they were sooooo good.

This concludes our weekend adventures look for us at upcoming events and feel free to stop by our visitor information booth located at market square, hope to see you soon :)

!Happy Canada Day!

Hi guys,

Shana and I had the opportunity to be a part of the festivities down at the Sudbury Arena. It was such a beautiful day to enjoy the celebrations whether at Science North or at the Sudbury Arena. From the moment we walked in you could just smell the amazing food, I just couldn't wait to try everything. I just enjoyed all the diversity and culture around me, the place was packed with people. There was amazing entertainment going on throughout the day from dancing to singing, from one age group to the other. Everyone comes together to enjoy these events to try new and exciting food and experience other cultures. There was even Royal Canadian Mounties walking around the arena taking pictures and engaging with kids and adults of all ages. Shana and I were thrilled to take a picture with our Royal Canadian Mounties. We got to speak and meet so many people who where there enjoying the festivities as much as we were. They were handing out a huge cake made in the shape of our Canadian flag, it was a huge hit among the crowd. It was such a great atmosphere, kids were having fun, adults were talking and watching the performances and we got to interact with many of the vendors. The vendors were enjoying the amazing festivities just as much as we were, it's all about having fun and celebrating this great country. This is by far a hit every year and I can't wait to be a part of it again next year. This is an amazing event and just so exhilarating. There is definitely so much to see and take part in, time just flies when your having a good time :). I also went down to Science North in the evening to watch the amazing fireworks! they did not disappoint, by far the best performance I have seen yet. I'm excited to see what next year holds. Hope everyone had an amazing Canada Day and had a chance to take part in the many celebrations throughout the Greater City of Sudbury!
