Classic Country Thursdays August 22nd  Line Up

Port Credit BIA has brought together two popular events for some amazing Summer vibes with Country Music and Classic Cars for our NEW Classic Country Thursdays!

Each Thursday evening from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., our community can enjoy live Country music, a DJ, line dancing, Country fare, games, and more!

Classic cars will return to the Port for the car afficionados and we have added a little Country back in the Port with special menu items at our participating business as well as attractions that include a mechanical bull ride, Brampton Batman, and some furry surprises.

This weekly event will take place at the Elmwood lot at 3 Elmwood Avenue North and at participating businesses along Lakeshore from Hurontario to Seneca Ave.
