Langley’s Community Day

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, at least not to our knowledge, due to COVID-19.

Community Day returned on Saturday, June 18th, in 2022. It ran from 11:00 am until 6:00 pm. Community Day returns again in 2023 and happens on Saturday, June 10t. As it has done in the past, the event is 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.

Community Day Activities

In 2022 Community Day featured a stage with live performances by Krystle Dos Santos, Will’s Jams and the Country Cuties Dance Team. There were also several informational booths run by representatives from community organizations.

Some of the biggest activities attendees could take part in included a rock climbing wall, mini golf, ball hockey, an inflatable corn maze, a Fire Rescue kids challenge, arts and crafts, and more! These activities were open from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm.

For the adults, the beer garden is back in 2023 to enjoy. The 2022 event also had a small market with over 15 different vendors. High quality products that were on display ranged from handmade houseware to finely scented soaps.

Another large component of the event is presented by the Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival and it is back in 2023. During the Langley Community Day event in 2022 there were over 20 food trucks at Douglas Park offering everything from poutine and mac & cheese to mini donuts and ice cream. In 2022 the food trucks, beer garden and market vendors were open from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. In 2023 the Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival is open from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm and the market vendors are open from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.
