Tips & Advice
Below are some tips and advice to help you make the most of your Maple Ridge Canada Day experience.
TIP #1: If driving, arrive early as parking on the day is challenging. Limited underground parking is available if you use the Edge Street and Dewdney Trunk entrances. There is also a fair bit of street parking in the area, although you may need to walk a ways.
TIP #2: Carpool or take public transit if you can.
TIP #3: Go with an appetite. There will be lots of food trucks thanks to the people at the Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival. Food trucks that typically participate include Zerelli’s Sandwich Shop, Little Ooties Donuts, Betty’s Greek Honey Ballz, JAPADOG, Stackers, Holy Taco & Mexi Eats, and Rosies BBQ.
