Summer in the village
Happy Summer in the city!
No cabin, no problem! Come hang out in Osborne Village this summer! We’ve put together a collection of events to get you walking, shopping, drinking, dancing and playing all summer long in the city.
Free noon workouts at the Bell Tower brought to you by The Brickhouse Gym.
The collection of summer programs were developed as part of a larger Osborne Village revitalization plan. “We’re building a new Osborne Village for the future, we have all the key ingredients for a thriving urban neighbourhood- it’s time we worked together to improve Osborne Village this summer and beyond,” says executive director Lindsay Somers. “A lot has changed since March 2020 - 20 new businesses have opened that most people would never notice unless they’re walking the streets. With two major mixed use developments underway Osborne Village is undeniably in an upswing.”
