The Burnaby Heights is throwing it back to the ‘80s for the 30th annual Hats Off Day parade this summer.
The upcoming parade and street festival takes over Hastings Street on Saturday, June 7 and will mark its 30th anniversary, as well.
To celebrate the anniversary, the Hats Off Day organizing committee is inviting everyone to go all out in true ‘80s style with crimped hair, neon clothes and should-pads.
The parade and display application forms are now available. The parade application deadline is March 31, and the display application is due by April 4.
More than 50,000 people make it out every year for the colourful festival.
Many Heights merchants stand out front with door prizes, giveaways, entertainment and food.
“Mark your calendars, pull out your leg warmers, and find that orange eye shadow,” a media release states. “There’s still plenty of time to plan your very best Pac Man costume, big hairdo and Breakfast Club character.”
