Crowds arrived early at the Corunna 200 street festival on Saturday, says organizing committee chairperson Tracy Kingston.
The free festival, running 10 am to 3 pm, took over a section of Lyndoch Street, between Fane and Cameron streets. It’s part of the 200th anniversary of a survey of the community located on the St. Clair River in St. Clair Township that proposed the site as a potential capital for Upper Canada and Lower Canada.
The festival follows a ceremony in May attended by hundreds of pupils from area elementary schools at a moment set up near a spot along Hill Street the surveyor suggested for the Parliament buildings.
Along with vendors, Saturday’s festival had face painting, inflatables, a story time, a giveaway of 200 books, a juggler and other entertainers.
