BBQ Bash
After all that hard effort on the bike, it’s time to celebrate and refuel at the BBQ Bash. While families work through the tasty barbeque under the big tent, they can enjoy the stage entertainment, emceed by CBC’s Tom Harrington. Besides enjoying the music of the band, Paul Malysa and the Ryvals, there’s always a chance of a visit from Mayor Hazel McCallion. The top fundraisers and teams, including the Kids4Kids Team, will be presented on stage. Afterwards kids can have their faces painted and participate in some fun kids activities.
Cost
The BBQ Bash is free to all participating cyclists and volunteers. Spectators can purchase tickets at the door for $10 for adults, and $5 for children. Children 3 years and younger are free.
Bands
Paul Malysa
When you first experience Mississauga-based singer/songwriter, Paul Malysa, you won't believe the soulful, harmonious and signature voice that stands hairs on your arms. His music is emotionally charged and overwhelms audiences everywhere. Following the success of his CD release ‘No More Yellow Lights,’ which garnered radio airplay across Canada, live performances, and numerous interviews to support this CD, Paul has just completed his newest CD, 'Above the Fold.'
Silent Auction
