We always look forward to the warmer temperatures of the summer that encourage us to get outside and enjoy it all. There is no shortage of special events planned in Burlington from July-September 2019.To date, a total of 32 Love My Hood events have been held across our city with 44 more currently scheduled over the summer months. Burlassic Park hosting the Toronto Raptor's NBA Finals run on the large outdoor screens turned out to be very popular events and an overall welcome addition, according to City of Burlington staff, and drew in average crowds of approximately 2,500 (when the weather was favourable) and more than than 4,500 people in Spencer Smith Park for the final game, which was hosted by the Sound of Music Festival.The following are events scheduled until the end of September:
