A month-long celebration of summertime with free games, music, fitness classes and more is taking place on the Richmond Olympic Oval’s waterfront plaza.

Called “Summer PlayDays,” the event continues right up until Aug. 31, when it will be capped off with a free, outdoor screening of Disney hit Frozen as the summer sun sets over the Fraser River.

You can also check out the new outdoor Games Zone on the Oval waterfront plaza.

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesdays through Sundays in August (except for Aug. 9, 17 and 30), drop in to take advantage of free games and play gear like bocce, badminton, croquet, chess, checkers, ping-pong, volleyball and more.

Or why not get your feet moving and bring the family to enjoy a lunchtime BBQ by the water on selected dates in August.

Hot dogs, burgers and fries will be available to purchase straight from the grill. Then kick up your heels with an eclectic mix of performers and musical styles from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Aug. 10, 16, 23 and 24.

Summer PlayDays wraps up with a big summertime bash on Sunday, Aug. 31, from 4 to 9:30 p.m. Watch for band announcements coming soon. For more details visit www.richmond.ca/summerplaydays.
