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 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 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.
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 performances by Krystle Dos Santos, Will’s Jams and the Country Cuties Dance Team. There are also several informational booths run by representatives from community organizations.
Some of the biggest activities to take part in include a rock climbing wall, mini golf, ball hockey, an inflatable corn maze, a Fire Rescue kids challenge, arts and crafts, and more! These activities are open from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm.
For the adults, there is a beer garden to enjoy. 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.
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 food trucks, beer garden and market vendors are open from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Tips and Suggestions
