I'm busy but you all have a good time now.
Mayor Rob Ford is going to need a lot of hamburgers.
He invited the “whole city” to his annual Ford Fest party in his mother’s Etobicoke backyard during a radio interview with Newstalk1010 on Tuesday.
Ford said they usually have the barbecue on a Sunday, but this year’s barbecue will be on Friday, Sept. 7.
There will be hot dogs, hamburgers, beer, pop and even pony rides for kids, the mayor added.
“We’ll have a great time,” he said.
When asked how many people he can fit in the backyard, Ford said the event draws “close to 5,000 people.”
“People come and go, so it’s not all at one time,” the mayor said.
Last year, hundreds of people, mostly Ford supporters, showed up to the event. Some wore black “Fordfest Rocks” t-shirts.
High-profile attendees included Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak, who was running an election campaign at the time, and boxer George Chuvalo. Provincial election candidates from other parties also attended and spoke at Ford Fest.
The mayor also gave a speech, where he recited a list of accomplishments.
The night was capped off with a fireworks display.
