Peterborough residents won’t be celebrating Queen Victoria’s birthday this year — at least not with a public fireworks display.
With the continued uncertainty about the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on public gatherings, the Rotary Victoria Day Fireworks and Family Night in Peterborough has been cancelled.
The 18th annual free event had been scheduled for Saturday, May 16th at Del Crary Park in downtown Peterborough.
Presented jointly by the Rotary Club of Peterborough and the Rotary Club of Peterborough-Kawartha, last year’s event featured live music, children’s activities, food and drink vendors, and a fireworks display above Little Lake.
The event is expected to return in 2021.
