That's when the Lakeside Park carousel finally opens.
After a more than two-month delay due to the record-breaking high water levels in Lake Ontario that impacted Lakeside Park, the carousel will be open just in time for the Civic Holiday weekend.
Kathleen Powell, supervisor historical services and acting supervisor cultural services, says "the carousel is a one of the most beloved landmarks in St. Catharines and we know our community has been waiting patiently for this day to come and we thank residents for their understanding."
Lakeside Park visitors can enjoy free rides on the carousel on Saturday, Aug. 3 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. courtesy of the Friends of the Carousel.
