I hope we all had a restful May long weekend, because you are going to need that rest to be able to enjoy the flurry of community events that are coming up.

The community fun starts this weekend as the 127th annual May Days celebration begins Friday night at Memorial Park in Ladner.

This Ladner tradition is ‘Super Hero’ sized this year with many added twists that will be sure to delight young and old.

In today’s print edition we have an eight-page special section to get you primed for the weekend. All of that editorial content will also be on our website.

So head out to the park and enjoy the midway, games, mini-donuts and cotton candy, the beer garden, parade on Sunday and the crowning of the Royal Court. The weekend is sure to have something for everyone in your family to enjoy.

Next weekend is Ladner Bandfest in Memorial Park and the popular Shrine Club salmon barbecue with the opening of the Ladner Village Market on June 11.

The fire department is hosting its open house on June 10, the first summer concerts in the park is on June 13 at Memorial featuring the always entertaining Delta Music Makers.

Sidekick Players is presenting a new show at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre, West Coast Chicago – an awesome Chicago tribute band plays Genesis Theatre at the end of the month and in between are a host of other community concerts, and community events of which we will have more details on in the coming weeks.

The pandemic put life as we know it on hold and events such as the ones I have described were non-existent. In the coming weeks and months there will be ample opportunities to come together and enjoy our community. It truly will be a time to celebrate.
