Community Day in Langley
The City of Langley hosts a Community Day event in Douglas Park most years. As its name suggests, the annual event is an outdoor celebration of the community. In years when the event takes place, there are lots of family-friendly activities to enjoy on-site.
In 2019, Langley’s Community Day celebrated its 25th anniversary on Saturday, June 15th. Unfortunately, the event didn’t happen in 2020 or in 2021, or at least not to our knowledge, due to COVID-19.
Community Day returns on Saturday, June 18th, in 2022. It runs from 11:00 am until 6:00 pm. As it has done in the past, the event happens at Douglas Park which is located at 5403-5409 206th Street in Langley. The park is on the same block as the Douglas Recreation Centre and Douglas Park Community School.
What to Expect at Community Day
In years when Community Day happens, expect to see lots of people around the Douglas Park area. It’s a popular event that’s open to the public and free to attend. The event is fun for all ages, so you’ll likely see lots of families participating in the various activities.
2022 Community Day Activities
In 2022 Community Day features a stage with live entertainment along with two separate kids zones with different activities. There are also several informational booths run by representatives from community organizations.
Another large component of the event is presented by the Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival. During the Langley Community Day event in 2022 there will be over 20 food trucks at Douglas Park offering everything from poutine and mac & cheese to mini donuts and ice cream. The event also has a small market with over 15 different vendors. Expect to see high quality products that range from handmade houseware to finely scented soaps.
Activities From Previous Years
The last Community Day event happened a couple of years ago. While the entertainment lineup for 2022 is to be confirmed, 2019 performers included DJ H20, Coalmont, Wes Barker, a Neil Diamond tribute band and more.
Exact details about the activity zones in 2022 are to be confirmed. In previous years the event featured a rock climbing wall, miniature golf course and ball hockey area. There were large inflatable play structures as well, including the Eliminator, where participants stood on round platforms and dodged a rotating arm. One year there was also an obstacle course that was fun for everyone. The 2019 event even had a beer garden for adults. The 2022 event will likely offer similar activities.
Tips and Suggestions
Below are tips that will help you make the most of Langley’s Community Day event.
TIP #1: Don’t go to the event with a full stomach! There are so many food trucks to choose from! Unless you want to save some money by bringing your own snacks, treat yourself to fresh and yummy treats at the event.
TIP #2: In 2022 the Community Day event runs from 11:00 am until 6:00 pm. However, the food trucks and the market will likely be on-site until 7:00 pm.
TIP #3: There are so many different kinds of food to choose from. If you go with close friends or family members, buy a number of food items to share. Just remember to be careful though about COVID-19 (so no double dipping)!
