Pembroke Community Expo was the first indoor event of its size in more than two years, welcoming thousands of people on May 13 and 14. About 70 vendors and organizations displayed their goods and services in the Pembroke Memorial Centre. There was also entertainment, food, activities and workshops for all ages. The community-building event was a partnership between the City of Pembroke, Downtown Pembroke and EcoPembroke.
