The Light Up Queens Winter Night Festival is back on.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s set for Sat., March 16 from 6 to 9 p.m. in Centennial Park on the Liverpool waterfront.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was originally scheduled for Feb. 24, but the region postponed it because of Environment Canada warnings of flash freezing that afternoon and evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event will feature more than 30 stations around the park, offering various artistic, cultural and winter-related activities. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Visitor Information Centre will be open, with Galeforce Feasts hosting a pop-up restaurant, selling fresh seafood chowder.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Royal Canadian Legion across the parking lot will also be selling hot dogs, chili and beef barley soup.<\/span><\/p>\n

The legion will also host a makers\u2019 market, featuring local artisans.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Hell Bay will have hot beverages for adults on the menu, in addition to their usual lineup of craft beers.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the park, one of the activities will be hosted by Special Olympics Lunenburg\/Queens. They will be holding a bocce ball demonstration.<\/span><\/p>\n

And people can also use the community coat rack, sponsored by Folk Law, United Way of Lunenburg County and Harbour House. It will feature warm winter clothes and accessories free for anybody to take home.<\/span><\/p>\n

TideKite, which has hosted a few kite-flying demonstrations in the park, will be on site flying special kites that light up in the dark. And they\u2019ll offer a kite-making workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bridgewater\u2019s DJ Danimal will be providing the music.<\/span><\/p>\n

The region is footing the $17,000 bill for the event. For more information, follow the Facebook event here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
