The Town of Brome Lake is bringing back its Polar Beach Party event for the first time since 2020.<\/p>\n
The Polar Beach Party is coordinated by the Department of Leisure, Tourism, Culture, and Community Life for the Town of Brome Lake. In its fifth edition, the event aims to bring people together around a variety of activities and sports to celebrate the winter season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The event was originally scheduled to take place on Feb. 4, but due to extremely cold weather conditions it was postposed to this Saturday, Feb. 25.\u00a0<\/span>Taking place at Douglass Beach, the Town of Brome Lake invites residents and visitors to the area to partake in some of their favourite winter activities, and to perhaps discover some new ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe main goal is to have a family event outside to celebrate winter, just having some fun at the beach with some fun activities going on. It\u2019s really a nice little event mainly for our residents, but everybody is welcome to show up at the beach on that day,\u201d said Martin Lussier, coordinator of leisure and community life for the Town of Brome Lake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There will be inflatable games, we are having bubble soccer, also there will be a rink as always, noted Lussier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re also having rentals for snowshoeing, cross-country, we\u2019re having skates too, and our famous skate sleds. It wasn\u2019t supposed to be at the first event on Feb. 4, but now we added snowskate workshops, that will be fun for the kids, and we also have ice fishing work shops,\u201d he added. \u201cThere\u2019s not a lot of people that have tried snow skating so that\u2019s why we thought it would be a good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n Lussier explained that snowskate is a mix between skateboarding and snowboarding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s like a skateboard, but without wheels. It\u2019s smaller than a snowboard. (\u2026) You can do snowskate on a flat landscape so you don\u2019t really need a yield,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There will also be a DJ to bring some entertainment to the event and a music workshop.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will have Baratanga (educational institution in Montreal). Baratanga is a drumming group who will have workshops around the fire. People will sit with them and drum on a bucket. Also, Virgin Hill will still be there offering hot chocolate and coffee freely to people attending the event,\u201d Lussier highlighted. \u201cThere will be sugar on snow too. Everything is free.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Polar Beach Party will be taking place at 213 Chem. Lakeside, Knowlton, from 1-5 p.m.\u00a0<\/span>Free parking will be available on site and at the Knowlton Boat Club located at 221 Rue Lakeside, Knowlton. If full, there is free parking in downtown Knowlton. Please note that there will be no food available to purchase on site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For more information on the event listen to the full interview below:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Town of Brome Lake is bringing back its Polar Beach Party event for the first time since 2020.
