May 23 Hyack International parade (New Westminster)
If there’s one thing you see during this year’s festival, it’s got to be the Hyack International Parade on Saturday, May 23. Secure your spaces along the route because B.C.’s largest parade is coming through and you’ll want to see it all. Be in place early and get ready for a thrill, as the Vancouver Police Motorcycle Drill Team heads down the parade route at 10:15 a.m., performing their eye-popping drills and formations, getting the crowd warmed up for the highlight event. The 2009 Hyack International Parade sponsored by Royal City Centre starts at 11 a.m. and will include 140 entries from British Columbia and the United States. See championship marching bands, and creative and eye-catching floats—in particular, the Hyack Festival Association’s award-winning Royal float.
