Assembly Park is coming together to throw a block party.
On Saturday, May 27 and Sunday May 28, Assembly Park will be percolating with excitement and filled with family-friendly entertainment. The venue is in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre at 80 Interchange Way.
The event has programming from community partners such as the Vaughan International Film Festival, Woofapalooza, Menkes and the York Region Arts Council.
Assembly Park is a planned mixed-use condominium community that plans to hold events akin to Toronto’s The Bentway. Assembly Park is privately owned by QuadReal Property Group and is an effort to transform an 83-acre plot of land into a thriving community.
