Splish Splash: Nanaimo Inviting Island to Jump in as Bathtub Weekend Returns
NANAIMO, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 26 – New safety rules forced a formal traffic plan, with sponsors and the city supporting the event to keep the parade running after planning hurdles.
- On Saturday, July 26, the Sail Past on Wheels Fun Parade kicks off at 10:30 a.m., traversing Nanaimo’s downtown core.
- Amid new festival safety regulations, organizers had to abandon volunteer traffic control and implement a formal traffic management plan.
- Starting on Albert Street, the parade winds across the highway and up Commercial Street, ending at Maffeo Sutton Park with vendors, food trucks and a kids’ zone.
- Sponsors stepped up as Tom Harris Community Foundation increased funding and Universal Traffic offered a discount, while the City of Nanaimo agreed to open the top of Commercial Street.
- Adding to the lineup, a Victoria marching band will perform, the parade’s first in years, and organizers praised the reopening of Commercial Street after months of construction.
