The City of Lachute invites the public to rediscover the joy of winter outdoor activities on Saturday, January 26, at Barron Park as part of Plaisirs d’Hiver! The city is pleased to be partnering again this year thanks to support from the provincial Ministry of Education and Kino-Québec.
All the fun takes place between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m., when participants will be able to enjoy many outdoor activities. This year’s program includes a DJ, animation, a sliding hill, archery tag, inflatable games, sleigh rides and dog sleds!
Want to show your creative side? Participate in the snowman contest or make snow paintings with the Maison de la Famille! The more cautious will be able to warm themselves by tasting soup and hot drinks that will be offered for free on-site or make taffy on the snow! Again this year, Café Partage d’Argenteuil will take care of the food service during the day.
At 3 pm, do not miss the Ritume du Nord Special Winter Pleasures run and practice Zumba just before the start! A good way to take a breath of fresh air and get warm at the same time!
In the evening, Lachute will be a hot place to be! The evening will be heat up at 5 p.m., thanks to the Kaboum show, presented by Louve, when fire-eaters will offer a fiery outdoor performance! A bonfire will amaze young and old and visitors can skate by candlelight on the ice rink.
This is the event of the season not to be missed! The City of Lachute is inviting you to Barron Park on January 26!
