If you’re looking for a way to enjoy the brilliant weather that has been forecasted for this weekend, look no further!
Join the event that has been celebrated in Esquimalt every year since 1966! This year’s Buccaneer’s Day itinerary is packed and more eventful than ever before.
Be prepared to wake up at 7 a.m. to the call of “Wakey Wakey!” as the famous van rolls through your neighbourhood on Saturday, inviting you to join the festivities of the town.
This amalgamation of community organizations and individual participants will occur on May 12th, 13th, and 14th.
Not only will there be numerous popular booths for entertainment, contests, and local food, but the parade and midway are also highly anticipated aspects of the carnival.
Tickets for the Midway are $40, and worth every penny if you ask us!
Can’t make it this weekend? West Coast Amusements is taking the carnival to Sidney on May 16th and 17th, so you’ll have the chance to catch them there! Click here for details.
