Organizers are hoping that more than 10,000 spectators come to take in the spectacle. Events will take place in Port Perry and Uxbridge's Elgin Park again this year.

It was a good idea, but like all good ideas, it needs to be more than an idea." "There were too many things going on that same night. That kind of hurt us. Other places like Oshawa and Whitby were having their Burns dinner too.
