The Victoria Day long weekend is the unofficial start to summer and the Town of Georgina is gearing up for a fun-filled summer season. Warmer temperatures are on the way and that means summer is not far behind. The Town offers a variety of outdoor recreation areas, parks, beaches, sports fields and splash pads for use by residents and visitors. 

The Town of Georgina will offer a Vendor Pilot Program for the summer of 2024 at De La Salle Park and Willow Beach.  

“Our waterfront parks are popular destinations for residents and visitors. Over the past few years, the public has expressed an interest in having vendors, in particular food vendors, operate at these parks,” said Mayor Margaret Quirk. “We encourage all local businesses to express their interest in this pilot program as it will provide an opportunity for them to reach new audiences.”
