Light Up Riverview- Mayor's Light Launch
‘Tis the season! Join Mayor Andrew J. Leblanc and Council at the Riverfront Gazebo on Thursday, November 23 at 7 p.m. sharp to Light Up Riverview and kick off the holiday season! It's a fun filled evening filled with tunes, treats and a little bit of magic!
Bundle up for variety of festivities that will span the twinkling Riverfront Trail:
- Holy Whale Beer Hall- Located inside the warm and cozy Fundy Chocolate River Station (391 Coverdale Road), stop in to listen to some great tunes with Felix Belliveau (guitar and vocals) from 6-8 p.m.. Holy Whale staff will be serving up drink specials "The Mayor's Motion" (alcohol) and "Teetotaler's Temptation" (non-alcohol).
- Light Up Riverview Market- Delight and explore both floors of the Fundy Chocolate River Station (391 Coverdale Road) for a variety of market goodies! All vendors are Riverview owned and operated businesses. A special thank you to Luxe Salon for organizing and Thrive Properties for hosting!
- Meet the Makers Open House- Celebrate Chocolate River Wellness' second anniversary by stopping in to their location on the second floor of the Fundy Chocolate River Station (391 Coverdale Road). You can chat with business owner Jess, visit the centre and greet the makers who support Chocolate River Wellness. Treats available while supplies last!
- The Christmas Barn- Support a local business and warm up with a delightful gourmet hot chocolate with all the fixings! The Christmas Barn truck will be parked on site at the Fundy Chocolate River Station (391 Coverdale Road) along the boardwalk.
- North Pole Direct Delivery- Bring your letter for Santa to the gazebo and drop it in the mailbox for special direct delivery to the North Pole! After the event, the mailbox will be relocated by the elves to Riverview Town Hall, 30 Honour Court until Thursday, December 7.
- Gazebo Entertainment- What a bright time, it’s the right time, to rock the night away with local band Flea Market Underground on the gazebo main stage until 8:15 p.m!
“Flea Market Underground is based out of Moncton, NB. They combine original material with singalong and dancing favourites. They are deeply rooted to Canadian music and enjoy a vast repertoire of Canadian artist covers within their sets. - RBC Community Food Drive- RBC gives back to the community, as they host a community food drive to support the Albert County Food Bank. Stop by their truck, located along the trail between the Fundy Chocolate River Station and the Gazebo with your non-perishable food items and say hi!
- Youth Village- Past the seven levels of the candy cane forest, through the sea of swirly, twirly, gum drops and through the mini covered bridge you will find a village of youth ready to re-energize you and your holiday spirits for your journey back to the Fundy Chocolate River Station!
- Riverview Youth Collective will be inviting folks of all ages to participate in a scavenger hunt along the trail! Don't forget to snap a photo in our Light Up Riverview frame and take a colouring page home!
- Riverview High School Royal Reign Dragon Boat Team will be hosting a hot chocolate stand with all proceeds going to Atlantic Wellness and Lions Sick Children's Fund.
- Riverview Rink Rats U13 hockey team will be hosting a wreath fundraiser. You can pre-order your handmade double sided fir wreath for $30 (cash or e-transfer).
