From the Beehive E145: Summer in St. Thomas

Summer in St. Thomas is officially in full swing, and there is a lot happening.

Mike connected with Megan Pickersgill, Tourism Manager at Railway City Tourism, for a look at what's coming up across the city this season.

From the Kettle Creek Food Truck Festival that kicked things off in June, to Canada Day celebrations at 1Password Park, to Nostalgia Nights on July 11th (one of the most popular car shows in southwestern Ontario, with over 1,200 cars lining the downtown streets last year), to Positively Elgin's dog-friendly festival at Pinafore Park -- there is something on every weekend.

In August, the Railway City Music and Arts Festival returns, running August 13 to 16 at Pinafore Park. Born out of Iron Horse, this four-day event spotlights local and regional musicians across multiple stages, a community art show, and plenty of family programming.

And wrapping up the season on September 19: Downtown Oktoberfest is back, this year at Ross and Talbot, with a headlining performance by Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo. Free to attend, with keg tapping, the Saxonia Hall dancers, and St. Thomas's own local breweries and cideries on hand.
