Amherstburg council considers Waterfront Festival Plaza grand opening

Council is being asked to approve $30K for a grand opening of Amherstburg Waterfront Festival Plaza, which has been completely redeveloped over five years.

Amherstburg council is being asked to approve a grand opening for the Waterfront Festival Plaza this summer.

Closed for more than five years, the site underwent environmental cleanup and redevelopment.

A proposed three-day celebration from July 31 to Aug. 2 is in the works.

Town staff are asking for $30 thousand for the event, which would include family activities, vendors, and live entertainment.

The project may include a partnership with Caldwell First Nation to develop a sculpture for the plaza.
