UP HERE: The Great Greater Sudbury Water Fight

Tom Davies Square 200 Brady Street, Sudbury

We had a wacky idea. What if we organized a big giant epic water fight? How many people would show up? Let's find out. Welcome to the first annual Great Greater Sudbury Water Fight! DING DING! 💦 It will be a big fun game of Capture the flag 🏳 but with water guns. 🔫 Open to all ages, shapes and sizes. Unless you're a jerk. No jerks, please. 🚫 They are no fun, and this is all about fun. It all goes down on Saturday August 17th at the Tom Davies Square courtyard. Our friends at The New HOT 93.5 and Rewind 103.9 will be live on location providing music for the game. RULES 1. BYOWG - Bring Your Own Water Gun! 2. No water balloons. We don't need more plastic garbage. 3. Don't be a jerk. This is obviously just for fun. 4. No bare feet. 5. Use of goggles and non-slip footwear is highly recommended. We will have refill stations. We will split everyone who shows up into two big teams. We will get wet, so don't forget your towel!
