Taking our hats off to our community!
Hats Off Day 2008 happened on Saturday, June 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. along Hastings Street between Boundary Road and Gamma Avenue. At 1 p.m., we had a cake-cutting ceremony to celebrate British Columbia's 150th birthday!
Hats Off Day is when the Heights merchants "take their hats off" to their community and their customers and the entire Heights community celebrates together. It's a huge, one-day extravaganza featuring a colourful main-street style parade with real local flavour, and a big street party afterwards.
Hats Off Day was voted "Burnaby's Best Festival" by Burnaby Now readers in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008!
The 2008 Hats Off Day Event Program is HERE!
Heights merchants and Burnaby-based non-profit associations are welcome to participate in Hats Off Day by walking in the parade or having a display. Creative criteria apply for parade entries (be prepared to be creative and come up with a fabulous entry!). Click here for more information about parade and display entries.
Do you have a hot rod, muscle car, restored antique or a foreign model? We’d love to see your vehicle be a part of our Show & Shine! Click here for more information about the Hats Off Day Show & Shine.
Volunteer and be a part of the fun and excitement that is Hats Off Day! Interested? Please call at 604-294-8899 or e-mail april@burnabyheights.com
