July 1 FESTIVITIES
Once again the Borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro invites the residents to attend a day of festivities on July 1! Since it has been a tradition for the past 25 years, the day will begin in a carnival theme and atmosphere with a colourful parade including the 5 continents representing the citizens of Pierrefonds-Roxboro. Amazing floats, colourful characters on stilts, music and movement, and a crowd of locals, who will parade to celebrate!
All participants in the parade on July 1 are invited to meet with us if they have any questions on the course of this event on June 26 between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. at the Pierrefonds library, located at 13555, boul. de Pierrefonds.
For all vehicles in the parade, the end of the parade takes place in the parking lot of Pierrefonds Comprehensive High School (PCHS).
