Rediscover Granville
The city has undertaken a revamp of Granville Mall. The mall will now be a more pedestrian friendly zone on weekends. To promote the ‘new Granville’ astroturf was installed temporarily along with tables and chairs.
The Carnival Band was one of the acts hired to entertain the crowd on Sunday evening.
