Yes, indeed the 80th Annual Pender Harbour May Day will be here Saturday, May 17, just a week away! As the longest running event on the Sunshine Coast, B.C., May Day to say the least, is an immensely popular event in the community.
The day kicks off with a 4 km fun run, kids fishing derby and pancake breakfast, followed by a parade through Madeira Park at 11 a.m. and a day filled with games, music and good times.
This year’s theme is: FLASHBACK ‘45: BACK TO OUR ROOTS. Dress up like it’s 1945 in Pender Harbour, or wear anything that is a nod to our roots in logging and fishing. Welcome back former May Queens as special guests this year!
