Woodstock residents and visitors celebrated the unofficial kickoff to summer over the Victoria Day weekend with a fun-filled midway and the 77th annual Victoria Day Parade. From Thursday, May 15 to Monday, May 19, Southside Park was home to the World’s Finest Shows Midway.

The event offered a variety of amusement rides, carnival games, and classic midway food. It provided entertainment for all ages and marked the return of one of Woodstock’s most anticipated seasonal attractions.

Attendees were also invited to support the community by bringing non-perishable food items. The City of Woodstock extends its sincere thanks to all who attended and supported the event, with special appreciation to sponsors including Zehrs Woodstock and the Lions Club of Woodstock.
