Taking our hats off to our community!
Hats Off Day 2011
Saturday, June 4
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Hats Off Day took place on Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. along Hastings Street between Boundary Road and Gamma Avenue. Our streets were packed with families, friends, neighbours, and merchants!
Hats Off Day is when 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 has been voted "Burnaby's Best Festival" by Burnaby Now readers every year since 2005!

Hats Off Day 2011 Details
This year, the parade started at 9 a.m. and ran along Hastings Street from Beta Avenue to Boundary Road. The street festival kicked off at 11 a.m. with lots of music, food, kids activities and more on Hastings Street from Boundary Road to Gamma Avenue.
Heights merchants and Burnaby-based non-profit associations were welcome to participate in Hats Off Day by walking in the parade or having a display. Hot rods, muscle cars, restored antiques, and foreign model cars awed passers-by in this year's Show & Shine.
