Watch downtown come alive!

From packed sidewalks to street festivals, every event this season has been a reminder of what happens when a community shows up for itself.

Thank you to everyone who danced, shopped, ate, laughed, and lingered a little longer on in our downtown core. We see you, and we’re grateful for you.

And the season’s not over yet!

Here’s what’s coming:

🍎 3rd Annual Norfolk Applefest — Sat. Sept 26th, 11am–3pm

🎃 Treats in the Streets — Sat. Oct 24th, 11am–2pm

Mark your calendars.

Thank You, Simcoe Lions Club!

Despite the rainy weather, Saturday’s BBQ with the Simcoe Lions Club was a blast. A huge thank you to the entire Lions Club team for putting together such a great community event, and to everyone who came out to support it, rain and all.

Events like this are what make downtown Simcoe special, and we’re already looking forward to making this a tradition.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and to all the families who joined us. We couldn’t ask for a better community.

See you next time!

Volunteers Needed: Simcoe Lions Club BBQ, This Saturday

Please share widely!

Downtown Simcoe BIA is proud to be partnering with the Simcoe Lions Club for this Saturday’s community BBQ, and we’re looking for a few extra hands to help make the day a success.

With over 400 people expected across three hours, some friendly, reliable support will go a long way.
Here’s where help is needed:

Kids Zone / Bouncy Castle Supervision

Staff will be on site, but an additional adult nearby to keep an eye on things would be a great help.

Picnic Table Upkeep

We’re looking for two volunteers to help tidy the picnic table area between families throughout the event. With 16 tables in use, a bit of ongoing cleanup will make a big difference.

Drive-Thru Assistance

Lion Doug and his team will be running the drive-thru for guests on the go. A hand or two is needed to help answer questions and safely direct traffic into the Riversyde parking lot.

General Support

From time to time, a Lion or volunteer may need someone to cover their station for a short break. Extra hands here would be much appreciated.

If you’re able to lend some time this Saturday, please reach out.

It’s a great chance to support a wonderful downtown Simcoe tradition - many hands make light work, and it’s shaping up to be a fun afternoon.

Just message us, the Lions or text 226 931 6101 if you are interested in helping!
