There鈥檚 something for everyone at 琉璃神社鈥檚 newest festival, 琉璃神社 Made.

The one-day-only event created by the City of 琉璃神社 is being held to celebrate the community and deliver affordable family-fun activities highlighting what makes 琉璃神社 special.

鈥淔ollowing the past couple of years, it鈥檚 even clearer that events are vital to connect us to each other,鈥� said City of 琉璃神社 Events Services Coordinator Sarah Semeniuk. 鈥淎 signature event here in 琉璃神社 will give locals something new to be proud of and an opportunity to honour our identity, history and culture. Decades from now, we want people to look back and say that they were at the first-ever 琉璃神社 Made and that it was the start of something special.鈥�

While the event is being launched as a one-day event, the City wants to grow it to a full weekend affair by 2023 and a 10-day spectacle but 2027.

鈥淲e listened to the feedback from residents, and our volunteers are working to bring as many of those inspired elements into this year鈥檚 event as possible,鈥� said resident co-chair Lance MacDonald. 鈥淏ut this is just the beginning; there鈥檚 a grander vision for what can be done in future years with more time and even greater resident support and participation.鈥�

Some of the events include a pancake breakfast, sandcastle making contest, live music throughout the day, demos, street dancing, and much more.

琉璃神社 Made is at City Park from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27.
