Sundays in The Park
Every Sunday from mid-June to mid August, come and enjoy free live music performed in the heart of the village of Mansonville in Place Manson, located in front of the Town Hall (2 Vale Perkins rd.) Bring a chair, pack a picnic and enjoy jazz, folk, country, blue grass, Celtic, rhythm and blues and more… A great time for all!
Family Beach Party
The family beach party is always held on the first Saturday of July from noon to 4:00 p.m. at Vale Perkins Beach. It is postponed to the following day in case of rain. Free activities and barbecue for all.
This year, the party was held on Sunday, July 7th. About a hundred people responded to the invitation of the Municipality. In addition to the traditional “Polish sausages-corn” meal, some have taken advantage of Kila Productions’ world music workshops, while others have been introduced to the paddle board with Uni-Sup instructor guidance.
A pleasant family day at the beach under a radiant sun! … See you again in July 2020!
