Migration Festival takes flight over Kingsville

Story and photos by Paul Forman

An absolutely gorgeous weekend made for a great Kingsville Migration Festival that was celebrated on multiple fronts throughout the town.

The always popular festival parade made its way down Main Street East before a large crowd on Saturday morning, October 19, and led to a variety of kid-friendly activities at Lions Park throughout the day.

 Mettawas Park and the Grovedale Arts and Culture Centre leaned towards an artistic flair over the weekend as they hosted visual art competitions and a crafts market.

Ty Cobb Field at Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary was another busy venue as it was the spot for foodies, fans of a craft beer and those that enjoy the beats of live music.

One of the Great Migration Paint Out competitors, Emma Fleming, paints at Mettawas Park on Saturday.
Students from Erie Migration District School had an opportunity to participate in this year’s parade for the first time.
The Border City Barkers were on hand at Lions Park on Saturday afternoon to provide onlookers with lots of thrills as the dogs enjoyed racing through the various skill courses.
The Canadian Raptor Conservancy held Birds of Prey shows at both Lions Park and at Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary. Eddie, a nine-year old Great Horned owl, is held by Jay from the Conservancy as he displayed the bird for all to see.
Anticipation filled the air as children eagerly awaited the approaching parade. Pictured just prior to the parade’s arrival are, on left, mom Katie Quiring and her children Andie, Larson and Quinn. To the right is Noelle Lightfoot with her son Hayes.
Mayor Dennis Rogers once again played the role of locomotive engineer for the Kingsville Express in Saturday’s parade.
