“Memorial Park is going to look like a regular Action Festival,” said Pat Bell chair of the Action Festival committee. He noted that the festival had been cancelled for the past two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but most of the events and activities will be back for this year.

In addition, a talent competition, Summerland’s Got Talent, will be held from the stage in Memorial Park on Saturday and Sunday.
Throughout the weekend, slo-pitch teams will participate in a 72-team tournament, with 21 prize packages available.
On Saturday at 6 p.m., the Giant’s Head Run will begin from the Summerland Aquatic and Fitness Centre on Kelly Ave. The race has five- and 10-kilometre routes.
While the majority of events will proceed as in past years, the Action Festival Parade and the Action Festival Dance will not happen this year.
The Summerland Action Festival was first held 40 years ago, in 1982, and has been a significant June festival since that time.
