On Friday, June 30, we’ll be closing down Hunter St. from George to Aylmer streets for pedestrians only. EC3 and Artspace will be presenting a 150th themed media arts exhibition. Four new works by local artists commissioned especially for this event will be popping up as films, videos, and projections large and small to inhabit the street.
Catfish Willie and Washboard Hank get the music started on June 30 with a special Live and Local Lunches performance at the Peterborough Square Courtyard. Family entertainment throughout the afternoon includes a colouring contest hosted by the Peterborough Public Library, face painting from Faces By 2, a Ben van Veen Century 21 Summer Family Film Series movie in Millennium Park and performances from Tim Holland The Puppet Tamer, J’s Magic, and The Paddling Puppeteers.
