We’re working with the North Point Douglas Women's Centre (NPDWC) (opens in new tab) to produce a full afternoon of free entertainment for families at the Austin Street Festival on Friday, August 26. The stage will be set up at the corner of Austin Street and Lorne Avenue and performances begin at 1:00 pm.
