The days of the Fresh Prince, Snapple and overalls with the snaps down are back! Well, at least in dance form.

This is a live stream performance, tickets to be purchased in advance to get a link to the show. Happening this Thursday.

HIT THE VIRTUAL CINEMA
The Barrie Film Festival has been up and running right through the pandemic, with loads of online offerings to satisfy your cinematic cravings. Their virtual cinema program projects indy movie selections every week for rental via their website. All you need is the screen and the popcorn!
HIT THE OUTDOOR CINEMA
If the kids are getting bored of Disney +, Sunset Drive In is open for wider screen experiences. New movies every week, including a wicked blend of classics and newer releases to accommodate most generations.
