Celebrate the outdoors at free, all-ages South Shore Fest June 7

Celebrate the great Canadian outdoors with day and night fun at South Shore Fest, Saturday, June 7!

The South Shore Joint Initiative welcomes all ages to the free and fun event, stepping into nature with local volunteers at the first-ever South Shore Fest to be held at Mariners Park Museum in Milford.

Everybody is invited to lace up again and experience the area’s incredible beauty, wildlife and stories first-hand with local nature enthusiasts.

Since the South Shore Footpath Project Launch in 2024, more than 20 enthusiastic volunteers have continued to explore and map some of the most scenic and walkable routes in South Shore conserved and public lands.

From walks, music, food and activities, to rugged shoreline adventures and an evening laser-guided night sky tour, everyone is encouraged to book a South Shore Walk on June 7th – rain or shine!
