CF Markville is bringing the excitement of the track directly to local residents.
On Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2, CF Markville’s Grand Court will transform into an interactive pre-race pit stop. Designed specifically for sports fans, local families, and thrill-seekers alike, the Racing Simulator Experience offers an up-close look at the high-speed world of professional racing, said the shopping centre.
“We are thrilled to welcome families and racing fans to CF Markville to kick off a historic milestone for our city,” said Kelly Vieira, General Manager, CF Markville. “As Markham hosts its largest-ever sporting event, we wanted to bring that trackside energy directly to our community. Whether guests are testing their skills on professional simulators or meeting local star Demi Chalkias, CF Markville will be the ultimate hub for pre-race excitement.”
Visitors to CF Markville can look forward to a lineup of free, interactive experiences that offer something unforgettable for guests of all ages, said the shopping centre:
