BURLINGTON, ON

The city has announced several road closures that will be taking place this weekend as both the Moon in June Race and the Cruisin’ Car Show are set to bring family fun to the waterfront and downtown core.

• • Weekly Shows: Every Monday evening (5 p.m. to 8 p.m., excluding holiday Mondays) from May 11 to October 5 in the exterior parking lot of the Burlington Centre (near the Canadian Tire at 777 Guelph Line).
  • Annual Special Event: The “Cruisin’ June” special event takes place in Downtown Burlington on Brant Street (between Caroline Street and Lakeshore Road) on Saturday, June 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

• 

  Kelly’s has moved further north on Brant Street and as soon as the city gets the pepper work done they will open up. Meanwhile this Saturday the “Cruisin’ June” will be open. Lower Brant is a bit of a mess with construction taking place at Civic Square and across the street, where a high-rise (17 storeys) is under construction.
