Family Day fun continues at Town Park as Aurora hosts the annual Arctic Adventure on Family Day, Feb. 20.
Arctic Adventure will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with professional ice carving, winter games, and much more.
On Monday, winter’s best offerings return to Town Park with seasonal activities like mini-snow tubing, ice sculptures and more. New this year will be the Great Canadian Lumberjack Show, which will offer two performances showcasing their lumberjack skills – including sawing and carving – for live audiences.
“There will be some wood carvings done, but it’s also about the energy and strength involved in the whole lumberjack industry, which has been compiled into a really entertaining show,” says Shelley Ware, special events coordinator for the Town of Aurora. “To keep it fun and festive, we’ve incorporated some outdoor activities under the theme of Snow Wars, so ‘may the Frost be with you.’
"We have a few Star Wars-themed activities that have been adapted for outdoor play. Mixing in with our favourite activities such as snow valley’s mini snow tubing run, we’ll have the inflatable Nerf axe throwing, weather permitting the rink will be set up there as well as a whole bunch of additional activities. On Monday, there will also be food vendors with the Armoury pop-up café, the Optimist Club’s barbecue fully set up and Catarina’s Kitchen as well.”
Online activities will also be are available for families who might like to participate remotely.
