The Town of Bay Bulls has given Targa the greenlight to hit the streets of Bay Bulls next month — so long as wildfires on the Avalon are contained by then.
Council approved Targa’s participation request during last week’s public meeting. Mayor Keith O’Driscoll added that last year’s event went over very well.
The 2025 event is scheduled for September 11 to 18. Participants plan to be in Bay Bulls on Saturday, September 13.
Roads impacted includ Southside Road, Lower Road, Irishtown Road, Northside Road, Marsh Road, and Sheldon Drive.
Staff, meanwhile, have reached out to Targa Newfoundland to let the organization know that the Town may opt out of the event if there is an insufficient number of emergency responders available in the region, given the current wildfire conditions on the Avalon.
