On Friday, the City of Kitchener laid out its plans for summer as residents will get a chance to visit festivals and events across the municipality.
“I’m optimistic that we’re headed toward a spring, summer and fall full of community reconnection and positive memories that will spark our Kitchener community spirit once again,” Mayor Berry Vrbanovic stated.
“While we are moving forward cautiously and continuing to practice good public health guidelines, the City is thrilled to bring back in-person events and festivals that will let Kitchener residents connect with friends, family and neighbours.”

“From sports to cultural activities and neighbourhood events to city-wide festivals, there is never a shortage of things to do in Kitchener.”
