It's May Days weekend in Ladner.
The springtime tradition, which dates all the way back to 1896, gets underway Friday afternoon when both the midway and the fastball tournament get going in Memorial Park.
The action really heats up on Saturday and Sunday when live bands, craft fair, petting zoo, food trucks, beer garden, pancake breakfast and much more are added to the lineup.
The highlight of May Days, the colourful parade through Ladner Village, is set for Sunday at noon. The procession will take a slightly different route this year due to road construction near Memorial Park.
Event chair Jennifer Scott says despite challenges posed by construction in and around the park, there will be all kinds of family-friendly activities throughout the weekend.
Canada's 150th birthday is the theme for this year's May Days and should be incorporated into many of the parade entries.
The May Quuen, who was to be selected last night at an event at the Ladner Community Centre, will be officially crowned during a ceremony following Sunday's parade.
