Events The Hearst Downtown organizes several activities throughout the year, in accordance with its annual budget. Here is a listing of those events, followed by a brief description. Do
not hesitate to contact us if you have suggestions concerning events, or
feedback about the ones we are currently organizing.
Every
May, the Downtown holds its annual meeting. The past year is reviewed,
and the one to come is planned.
Every
year, the downtown moves to the rhythm of the Summer Festival, the BIA's
biggest event. For three days, the main street (George St.) is closed.
Merchants spread their merchandise on the newly-available real estate and
people stroll about, shopping, enjoying a hot dog or preparing to attend
the now-famous Variety Show. The weather is usually very clement and the
atmosphere has got to be experienced. Many activities art part of this
huge event - games for kids, exhibitions of all kinds, an arts corner,
and many more. Best of all, consumers can enjoy incredible savings!
Back-To-School FallFest/Sidewalk Sale Similar
to the Summer Festival, the Back-To-School Sidewalk Sale places more of
an emphasis on savings on school or academic merchandise. The weather does
not allow as wide a roster of activities as the Summer Festival holds,
buut still allows activities spanning a great range of interests. All in
all, a very fun event!
All
members of the Downtown purchase a great many candies for Halloween, to
prepare for the hundreds of kids that flock the streets every year trick-or-treating.
At
the beginning of December, the Downtown, in partnership with the Hearst
Chamber of Commerce and the Ontario Northland Railway (ONR), organises
theh Santa Claus Express. The kids go on a train ride right up to the North
Pole, to meet Santa Claus! He will surely reward them with nice presents...
Appreciation Days and Midnight Madness Another
event that is held over the course of three days. Usually held on
the first weekend of December, Appreciation Days and Midnight Madness are
for the customer the perfect opportunity complete his or her Christmas
shopping. And why not? Incredible savings are the rule everywhere you go
in the Downtown, and on Friday (is the Midnight Madness), all stores in
the downtown are open until midnight! Some stores even have their staff
dress up in pj's! A blast.
