Keep Cameron Rd Bridge open say neighbours
Petrolia Pizzafest goes virtual
May 7, 2020
Petrolia’s Pizzafest is a go – but Victoria Park won’t be full.
The Town of Petrolia says the popular event will go virtual this year.
Instead of pizza slice sales, each of the participating pizzerias will offer a Pizzafest pecial on June 5 and June 6 during their regular hours.
This year Bud’s Pizza, Godfathers Pizza, Helen’s Hideaway Family Restaurant, Johnny G’s Premium Pizza Plus, Petrolia Pizza and Subs and Wise Guys Inc. will participate.
The “Virtual Petrolia Pizzafest 2020” Facebook event will have performances by some of our favourite local artists throughout the weekend. The entertainment available on YouTube.
“This is one of the ways that we are working to promote our downtown and to remind our residents and people in the Petrolia area that our downtown is as open for business as we are able to be. More promotions for our downtown are in the works,” says Laurissa Ellsworth, director of marketing, arts and communications.
