The Back Kitchen Gazebo Grand Opening Party
Concerts & FestivalsThe Back Kitchen Gazebo Grand Opening Party — Saturday, June 20
We’re celebrating the grand opening of our brand-new backyard gazebo, and you're invited.
Join us at 10:00 AM on Saturday, June 20 for a community celebration to mark the completion of our new outdoor dining space. We'll have a ribbon cutting with Mayor Hegadorn, the Deputy Mayor, and members of Council on hand, and someone from the BK Board will say a few words about the project and the grant that made it possible.
There'll be free coffee, tea, and donuts for everyone who comes out, plus a few extras to make a morning of it:
- Silent Auction — featuring loads of great items generously donated by the Amherst Island community and Back Kitchen supporters. Come browse, bid, and take home something special.
- Games & free ice cream prizes for the kids — bring the little ones for some fun.
Got something to donate? We're still gathering items for the silent auction, and we'd love your help. Every donation supports our volunteer-led, not-for-profit café — all proceeds go right back into keeping the BK running. Get in touch and we'll take it from there.
This is an open invitation to the whole community. Come celebrate a wonderful new spot to gather, eat, and enjoy the island summer.
