One of the biggest family beach parties of the summer is on this weekend.
It's Bruce Power's Beach Party, Saturday at Port Elgin's main beach. It runs from 4pm until dusk, when fireworks light up the shoreline.
Activities for youngsters include bouncing castles, face painting, rock-climbing walls, an obstacle course, a kite flying demonstration and the Superhero Show.
A parade featuring the Penetangore Pipe Band starts from the harbour parking lot and makes its way down Harbour St. to the beach.
The third annual Scott FireFit Championship will be set up in the north harbour parking lot. Firefighters demonstrate the tasks they often face in emergency situations.
Shuttle buses start at 3:30pm Saturday afternoon from Saugeen District Secondary School, The Plex, and Walmart parking lots and will run until after the evening fireworks.
Partygoers are encouraged to walk or use the buses as traffic to the Main Beach will be restricted.
"We are very fortunate to operate in such a supportive community, but it’s something we’ll never take for granted," says James Scongack, vice president of corporate affairs. "Our annual beach party gives us the opportunity to say thanks to local residents and visitors, while enjoying a day of activities and food on the beach, topped off with a fantastic fireworks show at dusk."
