The 2024 edition of Mayfest in Antigonish is set for Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m..
This year marks the 30th edition of the event, which is the largest fundraiser for the St. Martha’s Auxiliary. The money raised this year will go towards the refurbishment of the family rooms in the ICU and PCU at St. Martha’s Hospital. Organizer Judy MacKenzie said both spaces see a lot of use.
The Teddy Bear Clinic, always a popular feature of Mayfest will be back again this year.
