Established by the City of New Westminster in 1971, we have been building community spirit through the delivery of a kaleidoscope of annual festivals and events. Our members, staff and community volunteers have helped preserve the City’s rich history while promoting New Westminster beyond its borders.Fully supported by the City of New Westminster, we are proud to present a variety of annual celebratory events that attract a broad regional audience. Topping the list is the renowned Hyack Festival Week celebrations. Festival Week culminates with the storied Hyack International Parade and Uptown Live, the city’s vibrant new street festival.
