Hundreds came out for 91原创 City鈥檚 annual Community Day festival in Douglas Park on Saturday.
The event saw live entertainment presented on the park鈥檚 bandstand, featuring everything from flamenco dancing to bagpipes to bhangra.
Bingo and vendor booths lined the center of the festival area.
Around the edges of the park there were a number of more physical activities, many aimed at kids. The fire rescue challenge allowed kids to try their hand at rescuing a dummy and aiming a real fire hose. Drop-in ball hockey and a climbing wall allowed people to get some exercise.
Giant-sized versions of games like Connect Four and Jenga were also available for people to play.
A concession feeding visitors was to use its revenues to support Douglas Park Community School.
鈥淐ommunity Day is all about inspiring individuals, businesses, and community groups to come together to strengthen community pride and reinforce community togetherness and belonging,鈥� said 91原创 City Mayor Ted Schaffer, who noted the entire day鈥檚 festivities are free.
Visitors also had a chance to give input on planned changes coming to the one-way section of Fraser Highway next year, as the City looks at upgrading sewer and water pipes that are almost a century old.
This year was the 24th edition of the annual event.
