The Guelph Public Library is partnering with Wee Watch to celebrate the end of summer with a splash at the upcoming Foam Party Extravaganza.
The event will kick off at the Library’s East Side Branch on Saturday, September 5, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Get ready to dance, play, and soak up the fun as Presswood Entertainment brings music, activities, and plenty of foam for an afternoon to remember. Families are encouraged to bring a towel and join friends, neighbours, and community members for a free afternoon of foam, games, treats, and more. No registration is required.
What to know before you arrive
The Foam Party Extravaganza will be held in the parking lot at East Side Branch, located at 1 Starwood Drive. Because of this, the branch parking lot will be closed to vehicles during this event. However, East Side Branch is serviced by bus routes 14 (Grange), 17 (Woodlawn Watson), and 18 (Watson Woodlawn). Visitors are encouraged to use transit where possible or plan ahead for nearby street parking.
“We are delighted to partner with Wee Watch and extend our sincere thanks for their generous sponsorship of the Foam Party Extravaganza,” said Emily Tyschenko, Supervisor of Programming at the Guelph Public Library. “Partnerships like this help us create engaging experiences for families across Guelph while strengthening community connections that support the Library's commitment to fun, accessible programming.”
The event reflects a shared commitment between the Library and Wee Watch to create welcoming opportunities for children and families to learn, connect, and have fun together in the community.
“We are proud to partner with the Guelph Public Library on an event that brings families together through fun and play,” said Anita Compston, Area Supervisor of Wee Watch Licensed Home Child Care. “Play-based activities help build early literacy, curiosity, and confidence in young children, and events like this provide families with opportunities to connect, explore, and create lasting memories together.”
If you have any questions about the event, please contact the Library directly.
