Festival Days will be returning to Morinville later this weekend.
The annual festival will take over the town throughout the weekend and feature plenty of things to do for all ages.
A midway was initially scheduled to kick off the event on Friday (June 16) but was cancelled due to safety concerns.
Saturday will be the busiest day of the festival with the bulk of events and activities taking place, including:
- Free pancake breakfast provided by the Mayor and Council at the Morinville Community Cultural Centre (MCCC) from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
- Festival Fun Zone presented by Putnam Law LLP at the MCCC that will feature a candy carnival, supersized colouring wall, various artists and performers, as well food trucks from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- The NAPA Morinville Show N' Shine on 100 Street between 100 Avenue and 97 Avenue from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
