Music & Entertainment
Get ready for a day filled with live music, entertainment, and activities that will delight all ages. Whether you're dancing in the street, enjoying a family-friendly show, or simply soaking in the festive atmosphere, there's plenty of fun to be had!
Shay Way Memorial Car Show in the Mews
This year, we’re honoured to debut the Shay Way Memorial Car Show, a special tribute to the late Michael Elmer Shay—known lovingly as Mikey or Shay—a beloved member of the Manotick community. Organized by his friend and colleague, Hannah Hempinstall from Manotick’s Garage, this car show brings together a community of vehicles that Mike lived and breathed—cars, trucks, bikes, or tractors—anything with an engine is welcome!
The star of the show will be a stunning blue 1968 Cougar, built from the ground up by Mike himself, and now proudly owned by his longtime friend, Doug Watson. This unique car is a testament to Mike’s exceptional skill and passion for classic vehicles.
In true Mikey style, there’s no registration fee for this car show. Instead, we’re asking for donations to the Mittens from Mikey campaign. Please bring mittens, socks, nonperishable food items, or a monetary donation to help us fill the Cougar with donations supporting The Ottawa Mission and the Manotick Food Cupboard.
Giving Back
We kindly ask for a monetary donation to the Manotick Food Cupboard. Tap readers and cash donations will be available at entry points, helping us to support those in need while we celebrate the bounty of the season together.
Come together with friends and family for a memorable day in the heart of Manotick, where the spirit of the harvest shines bright!
