Corn Fest & Art by the River 2011

Another busy weekend has come and gone as our Festival crews pack up and move out of the 2011 Tecumseh Corn Festival, and Amherstburg’s Art by the River.

With remarkable weather, both events were jam packed! The Corn Fest welcomed Our Lady Peace, hosted by 89X’s Dave Hunter, in addition to all of their usual festivities. We setup our largest tent of the season thus far, with a grand 60 x 220 beer tent erected for the Knights of Columbus. Of course we also provided our “usual” vendor tents and portable washrooms, standard to most Festivals these days. As always, the Corn Fest rocked the house, and we were proud to be a part of it!

Attendees at Art by the River surely welcomed the sunshine and mild temperatures as the annual event went off without a hitch! Art by the River is much adored and has become a tradition for many people. With a series of our 20’ wide, 30’ wide and smaller 10x10 and 15x15 tents setup for the vendors, Fort Malden National Historic Site comes to life with art, food and culture certain to delight. Congratulations to Sue and her team for another fantastic year!

Rockin the Ribfest!

Windsor followed suit this weekend and played host to a deliciously popular Rib Festival! With Ribfests organized by local Rotaries already taking place this year in Chatham and Amherstburg, it seemed only fitting that Windsor should have one too!

At Festival we were more then happy to welcome Family Shows into our long list of “large event” customers and took great pride in setting up our 35x40 hex tents, tables, chairs and portable washrooms, for what turned out to be a great party. With vendors such as Smoke & Spice, Tai Palace and Natalie’s Unique gifts setup under our 10x10 and 20x20 tents there was something for everyone. Finger lickin’ BBQ, a boppin’ carnival for the kiddies and entertainment certain to delight all worked together to create another awesome local event!

August in Full Swing!

Both Festival Corunna and Festival Windsor were keeping extra busy this past weekend with a great number of weddings, celebrations and Festivals on our to do list!

Below are some awesome photos of the setup in Sarnia for this year’s Off Shore Boat Races. We’re so excited to be a part of such an awesome event as we become better acquainted with the Sarnia and Lambton County community. What a great showcase for our spectacular tents and superb Festival team!

Beautiful Pelee Island hosted their annual Pelee Fest, and once again we were on site setting up a gorgeous 60 x 100 refreshment tent as well as a few smaller tents, as depicted in the pictures below. Festival portajohns and inflatable bouncers also made their way to the island with our setup crews to create a remarkable event for all those people lucky enough to enjoy this event. With Pelee Island Winery offering wine tastings, fabulous entertainment on hand to set the mood, and bouncing castles and play areas for the kids, a great time was had by all! At Festival we feel so lucky to be a part of highlighting what an awesome local gem Pelee Island really is!

Here on the mainland, The Windsor Pride Festival rocked Windsor’s riverfront and downtown area! Complete with vendors setup under our 20x30 tent, a large 60x90 beverage tent, portable washrooms, tables and chairs all on site, as well as a remarkable parade, organizers should be excited about another successful year! Cheers to David Lenz and his team! We look forward to next year!
