The free official opening festivities will include refreshments, music, pre-registered guided tours and more.
Before or after stopping by the City Hall/Library Building celebration, residents can also enjoy the exciting complementary festivities taking place at Westside Multiculturism Day in the adjacent Memorial Park. The Westbank Museum Society is organizing and hosting the annual event, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 29.
