The annual John Galt Day festivities are returning to Guelph’s Market Square on Saturday.
This year’s event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will include Canadian juggling champion Bob Cates, aerial theatrics, art, face painting, and T-shirt printing.
Market Square’s water feature will be open and the city’s water wagon will be on site so residents can refill their bottles.
“John Galt Day is a true community celebration,” said Bill Nuhn, the city’s manager of theatres and civic events. “We invite the community to join in the festivities and celebrate our great city.”
