The Saturday Grand Parade
Be sure to be in downtown early on Saturday morning to grab yourself a good seat for the Grand Parade, which starts at 11:00a.m.! It can last anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half, starting off with vintage fire trucks and continuing with local floats, marching bands, The Shriners' Eastern Band and Mini Motorcycles, clowns, First Nations Drummers and much, much more!
If you would like to be in the parade this year, go to our Parade Page.
If you or your group want to volunteer, contact us!
City Crowds listen to Dal Richards and His Orchestra
Chocolate Caboose Fundraiser
Join our effort to raise funds towards hosting Summer Festival this year and in the many years to come.
Chocolate Caboose Bars are available at select locations for a $2 minimum donation. This year, choose from Milk or Dark Chocolate, finely crafted by Rembrandt’s Chocolates. Look for us every other Saturday outside of the Caboose, too!
Proceeds will go directly to Summer Festival programming and help us establish our new Adopt-An-Instrument Program, contributing musical support to aspiring Cowichan Valley children and youth.
