The fireworks are part of an all-day celebration, beginning with a community garage sale throughout the village from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The fireworks committee will be set up at 1388 Bridge Street and last year their own sale raised over $1,200 for the festivities.
Early morning sale-goers can enjoy a “Grab N Go” breakfast menu, featuring breakfast sandwiches, starting at 7:30 a.m. on the site of the sale.
Vendors will be at the New Dundee park on the corner of Bridge and Main streets starting from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sunglasses, toys, jewelry and other items will be available for purchase. Food vendors will also be open for business starting at 10 a.m.
There's also a silent auction and the “Discover Your Wilmot” community parade will start at 1:30 p.m.
An antique car show and midway rides for kids will also be part of the Victoria Day fun at the park on May 23.

The festivities will move to Doug Fischer Memorial Park in the evening. A BBQ dinner will start at 6 p.m. and will be followed by live performances from Erick Traplin, The Doug Clayfield Trio and The Collective until after 9 p.m.
Fireworks will begin, following the culmination of the live entertainment, at 9:30 p.m. During the display sections of Queen Street and Oxford Waterloo Road will be closed for safety reasons. The display is in support of the Children’s Wish Foundation.
Locals are encouraged to donate items to the garage sale, and if they wish to do so they can contact Jen Tate at 5159-656-0535. A representative from the sale will be available for either pickup or drop off at any time. Proceeds from the sale go toward keeping the event running annually.
The rain date for the BBQ and fireworks display is Saturday May 28. More information can be found at www.newdundeefireworks.com, or at the event’s Facebook page.
