Lambton Family HubUpdated every month
Your First Friday, planned
Friday, October 2 in downtown Sarnia. Here’s what’s good with kids, what’s better for a night out, and an easy route to follow.
First Friday is Sarnia’s monthly downtown walkabout. Galleries open their doors, musicians play, and shops stay open late. Not every stop is kid friendly, so we sorted it for you.
