The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Associations of Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto have announced the highly anticipated annual Vincy Unity Picnic, set to take place on July 15 at Crysler Provincial Park in Eastern Ontario.
This family-friendly event has become a staple on summer calendars worldwide, attracting over 10,000 attendees, including Vincentian nationals, their friends, and individuals from Canada and the United States.
The Vincy Unity Picnic serves as a vibrant celebration of Vincentian culture and community. From 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., participants will gather at Crysler Park to immerse themselves in a day filled with the rich heritage of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The event offers a unique opportunity for attendees to showcase their traditions through food, traditional attire, music, captivating performances, and engaging interactions with Canadian and Vincentian government officials and dignitaries.
The Vincy Unity Picnic event was initially held at Brown’s Bay Park but was relocated to Crysler Park in 2022 and 2023 due to major reconstructive work being undertaken at Brown’s Bay Park.
“Despite the change in venue, the spirit and essence of the event remain intact, promising an unforgettable experience for all participants,” a press release said.
Sandra Bobb, chair of the organising committee, said:
“We are thrilled to invite everyone to join us for the annual Vincy Unity Picnic. This event has grown to become a highlight of the summer for Vincentians and friends of our community. We look forward to celebrating our vibrant culture, fostering connections, and creating lasting memories with all attendees.”
Throughout the day, attendees can expect a wide array of activities and entertainment suitable for all ages.
From cultural performances showcasing traditional dances and music to culinary delights featuring authentic Vincentian cuisine, the Vincy Unity Picnic offers something for everyone.
Children can enjoy dedicated play areas and engaging activities, ensuring a fun-filled experience for the whole family.
