Verona Community Association
Sponsored Events and Programs

Each year the VCA sponsors a regular series of events, and tries to add to them on an on-going basis.

Christmas Tree Lighting

Each November, the whole community is invited to gather in McMullen Park to light up the giant Christmas tree to kick off the Christmas season. Marshmallows, hot chocolate, music, carols and good fellowship. This years details and pictures from last year.

November Free Skate

Each year as part of the Christmas kick-off, the VCA organises a special afternoon of free skating at the North Frontenac Community Arena. The event is usually tied to a teachers' professional activity day in November, when the elementary students have no classes. Verona's premier car dealer, Revell Ford Mercury, sponsors the free skate. This years details.

Christmas for Kids

The Christmas for Kids program demonstrates the community's love and concern by buying special presents for kids in families who are struggling to keep afloat. The presents - stylish warm clothing, books, puzzles, games and stuffed toys - are gaily wrapped and grouped by family for surprise delivery. Funds are raised through special events, personal, business and organization donations and by collection jars throughout the village. More details.

Verona Festival

The Verona Festival is a joyful expression of our community. For three days every August, longtime neighbours, newcomers, and visitors enjoy music, games, food, and good fellowship. Your $5 admission brings you a weekend of fun. Volunteers work throughout the year, bringing together community organizations, business sponsors and donors to create the celebration on the weekend after the First of August Holiday. More details.

Music In the Park

A first for Verona in the summer of 2009. Free summer concerts! The VCA sponsored a set of three free "Music in the Park" concerts " at McMullen Beach in Verona. The concerts were a great success and were enjoyed by all. Look for another series in 2010. More details.

Verona Kiosk

Located in the center of Verona on the corner of Main and Water Streets, the Verona Kiosk was a Millennium Project designed to reflect the traditional styles of our agricultural and railroad heritage. It was completed over several weeks by different groups of volunteer labourers with support from businesses and Government Agencies. More details.

Volunteer of the Year

Each year, the VCA proposes one Verona citizen as recipient of the Township of South Frontenac Volunteer of the Year for Portland District. More details.
