Sip on cold drinks in the summer heat at the Ocean Arts Pavilion. Enjoy lounge-style entertainment featuring your favourite local drag performers and musicians.

Seating: There are a variety of seating options, including armless folding chairs, bistro chairs with arms, and picnic benches. All seating is accompanied by a table.
