Based on previous years, it likely began at the corner of Lynn Valley Road and Mollie Nye Way near the Karen Magnussen Recreation Centre. It probaly then went along Lynn Valley Road and turned up Mountain Highway, likely finishing at Lynn Valley Park by Frederick Road.

The Lynn Valley Days parade isn’t the Lower Mainland’s largest parade, and far from the longest, but it is a good one, especially for locals. Like other community parades throughout the region, it’s popular with young families and children. People from the neighbourhood get to see people they know riding bikes and marching along.

In the parade there are decorated vehicles from local businesses, community groups and youth organizations, and lots of people walking along. From start to finish it’s about 30 minutes long. As soon as the parade finishes, the festival activities begin in the park.
