Festival offers fun in the sun

Events planned all weekend long

Get your kicks on Route 56 this B.C. Day long weekend at the Tsawwassen Sun Festival.

The long-running annual festival has activities and events planned throughout the weekend.

"It's going to be a fun weekend," says Sun Festival coordinator Elaine Campbell. "The weather should be good."

Some of the fun will include Sunny Sam's Treasure Hunt, a classic car show 'n' shine, a skateboard competition, softball and volleyball tournaments as well as the T-Town Incredible Race for teens.

A favourite highlight of Sun Festival, the Rotary Parade, is set for Monday at 11 a.m. The route will see the entries from various community groups and organizations travel along the west side of 56th Street from 16th Avenue to 9th Avenue.

This year's theme is Route 56. A fun zone for kids will be set up for Monday where a $10 wristband is good for as many rides as they'd like.

Some examples of food options at the festival include Vietnamese dishes, wraps, poutine, hotdogs, burgers and sandwiches.

The Kiwanis pancake breakfast takes place Monday from 8 to 11 a.m. at Winskill Park.

The Sun Fest website notes the service group has been providing the breakfast "for as many years as the Tsawwassen Sun Festival has been running."

The beer garden will be back as well. Visit www.sunfestival.ca to check out the official website, follow Sunny Sam on Twitter @followSunnySam or have a look at the festival's page on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TheTsawwassenSunFestival.
