Here’s a look at what’s going on in the town for the next 48 hours!
The start of the week brings plenty of opportunities to stay active, keep the kids entertained and enjoy a pair of free outdoor movie nights in Pembroke. Whether you’re looking for family fun, community programs or a chance to unwind after work, there’s something happening across the region over the next 48 hours.
Monday begins with the Books and Beyond Walking Club in Pembroke, where participants can enjoy a casual walk while chatting about books and connecting with fellow readers. Over in Petawawa, families with young children can stop by the Petawawa Public Library’s Baby Tales program, while Family Play Troop through EarlyON offers another opportunity for little ones to learn and socialize through play. Children can continue building their reading skills during Jolly Phonics, and students preparing for summer or future employment can take advantage of the free Student Resume & Cover Letter Drop-In service. Community supports also continue through Hello Haul – Resources for All: Summer Edition, and adults looking for some recreation can join the evening’s Non-Competitive Volleyball session at the Petawawa Civic Centre.
Monday wraps up with one of Pembroke’s favourite summer traditions as Movie Night in the Park returns to the Riverwalk Amphitheatre. This week’s feature is the live-action How to Train Your Dragon, offering families a chance to spread out a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy a free movie under the stars. Donations to St. Joseph’s Food Bank are welcomed.
Tuesday keeps the momentum going with another full day of family programming in Petawawa. The Petawawa Public Library continues its Summer Activities with drop-in programs for children, while Family Play Troop and Jolly Phonics return for another day. Adults can explore their artistic side during Creative Creations, and residents looking for assistance navigating local programs and services can take advantage of Extended Hours for Navigational Support. Hello Haul – Resources for All: Summer Edition also continues throughout the day, connecting families with valuable community resources.
Tuesday evening brings another free Movie Night in the Park, this time featuring Jurassic World Rebirth at the Pembroke waterfront. It’s another chance to enjoy an outdoor movie with family and friends while making the most of a summer evening by the Ottawa River.
Whether you’re taking part in a community program, learning a new skill, getting active, or simply relaxing with a movie under the stars, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the next 48 hours in Pembroke and Petawawa.
