Come and Join the Celebration !

We are honoured to host the second Celebrate BC – BC Day Festival on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Kwikwetlem First Nation and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.

This celebration of British Columbia’s diverse culture and communities is made possible through the partnership and guidance of the Kwikwetlem and Tsleil-Waututh people, and we are grateful to gather on their land for this historic event.

Since 1974, BC Day has been celebrated on the first Monday of August as a tribute to the rich history, diverse culture, and vibrant people of British Columbia. The day recognizes the invaluable contributions of Indigenous communities, whose deep-rooted traditions and stewardship of the land continue to shape the province. It also honours the efforts of settlers and immigrants whose hard work and resilience have helped build BC into the dynamic and multicultural place it is today. BC Day is a time for reflection, celebration, and unity—an opportunity for everyone to come together and appreciate the unique identity and shared heritage of the province.
