Westside Gathering has been hosting this BBQ in the West Island since 2003 with the purpose of connecting people and providing a great environment for families and all ages to celebrate the summer. This barbecue has grown to a crowd of over 800 people in 2015 and includes free food, live music, activities for kids and gifts prizes from local businesses. It has seen the likes of local talent such as David Hodges, Johnny Griffin, Rosanna Tomiuk, Justin Saladino, Stefanie Parnell, Melody Loria and the entire Break City Dance School family coming alongside in collaboration.

 

Westside is a church community that desires to see the love of Jesus genuinely transform lives and neighbourhoods by nurturing relationships and impacting communities.

If you have been coming to the barbecue and are wondering how you can help, please contact Beth Weaver at Westside Gathering for volunteering opportunities.

 

See you on the 28th!

We’re so excited to have What If Elephants as our artist invites this year. A very friendly, humble and gifted group of artists!

Ever year, Break City comes and blesses us with a special presentation. The work they do in the West Island inspires and encourages many young people!
