Chemainus knows how to throw a Canada Day party.
Families, friends, and even some furry loved ones came out for the festivities that took place at Chemainus Waterwheel Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Canada Day to celebrate the country's 157th birthday.
Little ones were in their glory as there was much fun to be had with a bouncy castle, a giant slide, face painting games and more. There were plenty of good eats being served up by the Chemainus Legion as well as sweet treats from various vendors on site. Along with some Canadian pride filling the air, were the sweet sounds of local music act Copper Canyon.
Mother Nature provided warm weather for a fun-filled day of community members as they donned their best red and white outfits to celebrate.
