The annual Hyack International Parade is our province’s largest family-oriented parade with over 120 entries from throughout BC, Washington, and Oregon. You won’t want to miss the high-energy, colourful and entertaining procession of floats, marching bands, community groups, mascots, performance artists, and more that fill the streets of New Westminster. It’s a “can’t miss” event for the entire family!

We highly encourage a wide variety of fun participants, from fabulous floats & marching bands, to dance/theatre troupes, drill teams, military groups, community clubs and more. If you need ideas to make your entry unique, feel free to reach out.

And just when you thought the day couldn't get any better...
Thousands of people join us for the ”Hyack International Parade” and stay with us to celebrate the ”Hyack Festival” in Tipperary Park.
A popular event in New Westminster, the Hyack Festival turns Tipperary Park into a hub of free entertainment, music and activities for people of all ages, while supporting local Vendors, Food Trucks and other Artisan Creators to display and sell their creations.
Families can drop by for free face-painting, crafts, games and free musical entertainment that will provide the perfect backdrop for a festival to remember!
The Hyack Festival encourage affordable, multicultural and intergenerational activities so children, youth, adults and seniors can participate together; it fosters community building, understanding of cultures and respect for all people, enhancing the ‘Spirit of Community’. The Festival also encourages tourism by bringing several festival organizations with contingents of people into New Westminster, creating tourism awareness for the Community.
