2025 THEME
Forward into the Future
Each year, the newly elected President of the Hyack Festival Association decides on the theme of our annual Hyack float. The theme is incorporated into all our events and each year we create a collectable pin that can be purchased from our office.

The Hyack Festival Association is extremely proud of our history and traditions celebrated in our City since 1971. As we begin a new year, we are excited to continue on our new path. The last couple of years have seen many changes and we will continue to change and evolve in 2025. Our goal has always been to provide free, family fun events for the citizens of New Westminster. This year will be no different.
Our Hyack Festival events begin in May, but don’t stop there. In August we celebrate the ‘End of Summer Fireworks and Festival’ at the waterfront. During December, we travel with our float to several local communities where we participate in their Santa Claus Christmas parades.
We will be taking our award winning float to many local communities throughout the lower mainland over the summer. These parades are a way of sharing and promoting the Hyack Festival Association to a whole new audience. We hope to invite people who may not know anything about our Association to come and celebrate with us.
In between these festivals and parades, watch for the Hyack Information booth at the Farmers markets during the summer, as well as the Pride Festival in August. Hyack Festival will be well represented throughout our City in 2025.
Join us, won’t you, as we go ‘Forward into the Future’.
