DIY Acadie – August 9
New this year: In partnership with the Dieppe Arts and Culture Centre, a new pre-tintamarre event, DIY Acadie, will be held at Place 1604 on August 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Families are invited to get ready for August 15 by creating headbands, noisemakers, and children’s tutus in Acadian colours. Bring a white shirt to make your own tie-dye design. The morning program also features story time and a live performance by a singer. All activities are free!
We can’t wait to celebrate l'Acadie with you!
