Saturday Events and Activities

Tod’s Nanaimo Infusion
DAY TWO ❤️ 

 
I can’t even begin tell you how wonderful it was to see the hundreds of visitors in town and at the park! Thank you so much for coming.

10am - The Family Photo 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

10:00 a.m. SHARP: Family Photo at Maffeo Sutton park [map]. Arrive early; the parking lot was completely full yesterday!

Locals are encouraged to be part of the photo!!

Here is a PDF of downtown parking options. I also found this map of parking options. You may want to consider parking downtown, then walking to the water (4 min from downtown) and walking along the seawalk to the park (10 min max). It’s a beautiful walk.

The mayor and our local MLA will be there to welcome you, and then we’ll take a big family photo.

Some people have asked how they can thank us for doing this. Come to this Family Photo. That’s how. ❤️

My Day 1 Thoughts

Wear Your Red Lanyard!

Wearing a red or Canada-flag lanyard (or red anything around your neck) will help local store owners know you’re one of our treasured guests — some stores and restaurants are giving discounts to people wearing them. (Yes, locals can wear them too!) It will also help you all identify each other as you travel, and that way you can say hi!

See you at 10am this morning at Maffeo Sutton Park!
