WILL THERE BE MUSIC?

Of course! You can’t have a party without great music. Here’s how the entertainment will be over the two weekends:

  • 3pm to 6pm : Julian Rodriguez
  • 7pm to 1030pm: Gruppo Diamante Band

ARE YOU EXPECTING IT TO BE BUSY?

Yes. Very! Last year we had a lineup before we even opened the doors. We anticipate the same this year. As always, we don’t take reservations.

IS THERE PARKING?

We always encourage our guests coming to have a good time to be responsible and find an alternative way to get here and back home. That being said, we have parking on the street directly in front of the WindsorEats Food Hall, in the gravel lot behind (to the north towards the river), and in a municipal lot on Howard Avenue just steps away which is free after 6pm.

We ask that you please do not park in the New Beginnings spaces or in the Nizam Pastry lot. If you do park there, don’t be surprised if your car isn’t there when you leave (ie. it’s been towed).

We are also a hub for Bird Canada scooters and bikes and there should be plenty parked outside.
