Sail Past on Wheels Parade



Many (but not all) World Championship Bathtub Race teams participate in the parade and it's a great way to give thanks to each team sponsor and the major sponsors of the Society and the Festival.

On Saturday at 10:30am the annual Sail Past on Wheels Fun Parade starts at Fitzwilliam, turns onto Selby Street, onto Albert St, down the hill to Commercial St, follows Front St and then down Comox into the park.
