SEAFEST PRINCE RUPERT, BC

June 11, 2016 Saturday


We joined the crowds, (not really so bad, it’s a small town)for the Seafest Parade.  Small town parades have a lot in common, fire trucks and politicians, but this one included First Nation long boats, and every float featured rain boots.  Prince Rupert gets the most rain in all of BC, about 250-300 days in a year.  The boots are called “coastal sneakers”, worn anywhere and everywhere.  There were lots of food venders, information booths, and music.  This is a multi-cultural city, First Nation, European, and Asian, and all were represented in the parade.
