If a visit to Burnaby Village Museum is on your family’s summer to-do list, don’t forget about B.C. Day. As usual, the village has special fun on offer for the holiday Monday on Aug. 6, running from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Visitors can enjoy all the usual village activities – carousel rides, checking out the platen press and blacksmith shop, visiting the schoolteacher and taking part in kids’ games – and also shop from Market Monday vendors.
Plus, this year, the village has booked the Laughing Loggers for a lumberjack show (scheduled for 1:15 p.m.). And there’s entertainment by the Vancouver Circus School and live music by the Celtic Lasses and Still Creek Bear Cats, among others.
Burnaby Village is at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. Admission is free, with a $2.65 charge for carousel rides.
And if you can’t make it for B.C. Day, don’t worry – the village is open Tuesdays to Sundays, plus statutory holidays (closed on non-holiday Mondays) until Sept. 3. Check out www.burnabyvillagemuseum.ca for all the details.
