Play Streets 2025

Fab free family fun monthly, May through September, everyone welcome!

Play Streets is a world-wide movement to reclaim streets for kids. Join us this summer for four street parties on the 1600 block of Camosun — the street will be closed to cars and open to PLAY.

 

May 11, 2-4:30pm: Kids Cardboard Village & Community Potluck  The cardboard village has become a Play Streets favourite – let’s make a village together! There’ll be a scavenger hunt, face-painting, art-making. And of course, good food and friendship. Bring a dish to share!   

 

June 15, 2-4:30pm: Bike Day  Everything Bikes (and Scooters too)! We’ll learn bike safety, and how to do simple repairs. There’ll be an bike obstacle course, bike decorating, and a bike parade around the neighbourhood! Also face painting and a bike-themed scavenger hunt.  

 

July 13, 2-4:30pm: Kids Maker Market & Games Day  Fernwood kids, get making! You are invited to sell your wares at the Kids Maker Market. There’ll also be art / making activities, games of all kinds, water balloons, face painting, and a treasure hunt.  

 

Sept 14, 2-4:30pm: Stone Soup & S’mores   We’ll make a big pot of soup together, and share it. Vic Fire Fighters will bring a fire truck for us to explore. We’ll spend time caring for the pollinator garden and learn how to save seeds. Say our goodbyes to Summer, give our gratitude, and welcome in the Fall.
