First we have The Festival of Lights. This is a not for profit organization that puts on free concerts for the public every Wednesday and Saturday night for 10 weeks. Oh and don't forget about Canada Day. There is always a concert with fireworks that night too. This years concert line up included David Cassidy, 54-40, The Proclaimers, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Stampeders and many more. This event all goes down at Del Crary Park on Little Lake in Peterborough. Check out this photo that I took of the stage after one of the shows.
And sometimes after the shows the artists will come out to meet the fans and sign autographs. Here I am with some of the staff of the Festival of Lights meeting The Proclaimers who came all the way from Scotland to perform for Peterborough.
I stumbled upon this next photo one night after dinner when I went for a walk down near Beavermead Park. It was perfect timing. As soon as I got down to the water's edge the Liftlock Cruise was coming down through the locks. Peterborough is famous for it's lock system. It's really a neat way to travel.
That same evening I enjoyed sitting and watching the ducks swim and enjoy Little Lake.
My mom also introduced me to this next beach near Buckhorn-- Sandy beach. It is so beautiful I couldn't believe my eyes when she took me there. It was so shallow and the water so blue. It was one of the best beach days I have ever had!
Last, but not least one of my favourite sights in Peterborough is my sign popping up on lawns across the city :) Hopefully, I will be visiting your front lawn soon. Enjoy the rest of your summer bloggers I hope it was fun filled with all the great places to go in Peterborough.
