Welcome

Message from 2015 Sea Cavalcade Committee

Our 47th year of Sea Cavalcade signifies a year of change. Our community is changing from a resource based economy to a tourism/technical based economy.

This year, with our title, "The World Meets by the Sea", we wish to recognize the many new ethnic groups and cultures and show off their talents, dances, foods and family games and activities.

We have planned a fun-packed weekend for all, centred on our theme and consolidated into the lower Gibsons area. We hope you will all come and partake in this historic 47th year as we start off activities on Saturday, July 25th with our parade and end Sunday evening with a community pig roast dinner hosted by Christ the King church, and concerts, at the Winegarden Park shell in Lower Gibsons.

You can follow our continually upgraded website for specific details. And, of course, we will still thrill you all with our spectacular fireworks on Saturday night and our historic salmon barbeque, Golden Girls presentation, mile run event and many other favourite activities.

How does this all happen? Your festival is COMPLETELY run by volunteers. They work with great dedication throughout the year to make Sea Cavalcade happen. We can always use more volunteers to join our group and invite new people to join. Call Margarethe at 604-886-0498 and we will be happy to receive your help with the festival!

Also, at this time, we must tell you that our 47th festival would not be happening without our local governments' support. The Town of Gibsons is our major supporter providing financial support for our fireworks and a great deal of staff and infrastructure necessities. Secondly, the SCRD gives us financial support that is totally necessary for us; thirdly, the RCMP who provide extra manpower to keep our festival safe for all.

And so, here we are on the brink of another year of excitement and community celebration. Join us in this celebration of our new cultures and our historic traditions and family fun activities.
