Summer Programs
All programs must follow the current provincial guidelines. Physical distancing is required and face coverings are strongly recommended while onsite.
The City of Brantford is thrilled to safely bring programs back to the community this year! Although Harmony Square programming looks different then it has in the past, our altered schedule ensures that you and your family’s health and safety are a top priority.
During the sunny summer months, Harmony Square is the place to be. There are free programs daily to keep community members of all ages busy.
Bring your swim suit and cool down in the Harmony Square splash pad.
