2022 Carlyle Fun Dayz was a popular event in the community.

Carlyle will be hosting what is described as the biggest festival in the southeast corner of the province on Aug. 19. Carlyle Fun Dayz is back again. 

Every year, event chairman Tim Sedor and a group of volunteers are busy arranging for a fun-filled day that has something that will appeal to every age group. This year is no different.  

Why Carlyle Fun Dayz? There will be tons of free entertainment, a community wide celebration and a festival bringing people together, which is so important, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and months of winter. The festival boosts community spirit and showcases what Carlyle has to offer.  

The Observer caught up with Sedor to get the scoop on the happenings. 

Members of the Carlyle District Lions Club will be cooking up a breakfast from 8-10 a.m. at a minimal cost to support the club. 

A parade will follow the same route as last year, kicking off at 11 a.m. It starts at the Carlyle town maintenance shop and finishes in front of the library. 

Memorial Hall will open its doors for the trade show at 11 a.m.

The Kids’ Zone opens up on Main Street at noon. Tons of cool activities are planned for kids of all ages. There will be a bouncy castle, climbing wall and laser tag. New this year, for a minimal fee, is a zip line. There will be a video game trailer.

There will also be a kids’ carnival tent set up with games and prizes for children. Moose Mountain Leisure will be bringing dirt bikes, quads, campers and a trailer for demonstrations. 

Beer gardens open at noon on Main Street.

Live music begins at 1 p.m. and runs until midnight opening with Ryan Bender and Lorne Frap with their old-time country rock. The Bromantics, famous for their 50s and 60s music, take the stage next. It’s an honour having them play considering they just had a new album release. Saskatchewan recording artist Brody Siebert follows, with Switch closing out the evening. It is worth noting that a staging company was hired to do the professional sound. With all that clear sound, there will be nothing stopping you from dancing. 

A tea will be served at the museum from 2-4 p.m.

There will be great sales going on at all of the businesses as well as Fun Dayz Specials.  The local restaurants will be open and there will be a number of food trucks on Main Street such as Booster Juice, Smokie Okie, In My Belly, and Fluff and Slush. 

So, starting with breakfast and ending with midnight dancing; some zip lining and trailer shopping in between, it will be a fun-filled day.
