K-Days starts on Friday! In addition to the usual rides and games, the “Monster” - the world’s largest inflatable obstacle course - will make its Canadian debut. The course is 300 metres long and has 40 obstacles and a five-and-a-half storey slide. If music is more your style, nightly concerts are included with gate admission and feature performers like Three Days Grace, Tegan and Sara, and the James Barker Band. K-Days runs until July 30th and tickets are available online.
