It happened - August 9, 2023 | Since 2002

Mark your calendars - 2024 will be Wednesday, August 14

Over 20 years ago when the idea was hatched to replace Brierfest, the Park Board, got creative and developed this festival centered around the business core of Brier.  

Join us as the people and sea creatures of Brier get together for a casual evening of fun. Gather the kids on your block and enter the parade - the theme is scary sea creatures, octopi, pirates, boats, nautical or any sea related idea.

All kids, classic car owners and anyone with a great parade idea are encouraged to participate. And, there will be prizes.

Note: Brier Road will close to traffic at 6:00 pm on the day of the event from 238th to 228th. Detour routes will be available.

A "Jolly Roger". Don't know what one is:

Date: circa 1785

Be sure to design your own special flag (Jolly Roger) for your group in the parade! Here's a sample of a Jolly Roger.

This year the parade will again feature a variety of entertaining participants, local classic cars, race cars and a couple bands including the Kenmore and District Pipe Band. There will be our favorite usual entrants and anyone else interested in joining the fun. And, there will be a few prizes.
