WHITE ROCK — The City of White Rock's annual Canada Day by the Bay event runs from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the Marine Drive waterfront.
It's a chance to bring the whole family down to the beach and spend the day listening to live entertainment at West Beach or visit the Kids Zone at East Beach, where bouncy castles, face painting, balloon twisting and a sandcastle competition will keep the kids busy for hours.
"Few community celebrations outshine the annual July 1st Canada Day celebrations in the City of White Rock," Mayor Wayne Baldwin stated in a message posted on Tourism White Rock's website (Inwhiterock.com).
"Organizers are passionate and dedicated to providing the best possible family event for countless numbers of visitors and residents who enjoy Canada Day by the Bay," he continued.
"The children's sandcastle event, various artisan and vendor displays, a delicious salmon barbecue, live entertainment throughout the day and the grand finale fireworks display (are) a few of the popular events, (and) all contribute to make White Rock's Canada Day by the Bay a huge success."
