About this Event
Neighbourhood Lemonade Stand - In person on Thursday, May 16 at 3:30-6:00pm
Location: Artscape Daniels Spectrum Terrace
Inspired by feminist icon Lucy from Charlie Brown, we’re doing a Neighbourhood Lemonade Stand—Paprika style! Join us on the Terrace to soak up some sun, free advice, helpful resources, and PWYC bicycle repairs! Spend the afternoon hanging out with special guests from Means of Production, Meridian Credit Union, the Ontario Arts Council, Paprika Festival, Send it Courier, and more. Conversations will be taking place around picnic tables, and folks are encouraged to listen in and share. Cycle to the theatre, have your burning money and art questions answered, and get your bike summer-ready — all while enjoying a fresh cup of pink lemonade! ???
Please RSVP to book your 30-minute consultation with Rebecca Vandevelde from Means of Production.
If you are planning to attend to talk with the guests from Meridian Credit Union, Ontario Arts Council, Paprika Festival, and more, registration is not necessary to attend, but please RSVP if you know you'll be there so we can have a sense of numbers!
