POWER PLAY: Family Festival Celebrating Community and All Things Electric

Dress up as your fave superhero (the more electric and shiny the better!) and enjoy a free family festival celebrating community and all things electric, with funky live music from HOT POT, a chance to cruise cool exhibits, hang out in the KIDZONE, or watch a culinary throw-down between Colwood Mayor Doug Kobayashi and View Royal Mayor Sid Tobias …  who will reign supreme?!?

It’ll be a clash of culinary titans in our 21st century take on tailgating when these two local politicos face off at 1pm on electric induction cooktops powered by two Ford F-150 Lightning electric pick-up trucks!  The mayors will be preparing their best small plate dishes to be judged by Executive Chef Ken Nakano of the Inn at Laurel Point (Aura Waterfront Restaurant & Patio) together with Langford Mayor Scott Goodmanson and Metchosin Mayor Marie-Térèse Little.

So, if you’re jonesing for a chill afternoon of off-the-grid tunes, delish food and drink, community groups, and the latest in electrified and sustainable living like EVs, E-bikes, solar power, heat pumps and great info about government rebates and how you can save money and conserve energy, this is a summer afternoon for you!
