New Westminster festival to light up August night
The Hyack Festival Association will be hosting its Summer Music & Fireworks Festival this August, looking to end the summer with a bang.
The festival will feature live music featuring artists from the local New West community and beyond. There will also be an artisan market with vendors selected through an online application form, with items ranging from hand-crafted gifts to hot food, representing New West’s diversity. The night will conclude with an eye-popping fireworks display in the night sky.
Previous editions of the Music & Fireworks Festival, also known as the Farewell to Summer, have drawn thousands of visitors. The event is hosted by the Hyack Festival Association, which also organizes the annual Canada Day parade in New Westminster, Festival in the Park, and other events. The festival will also feature a 50/50 raffle, with the winner taking half of the ticket proceeds and the rest going to promoting future events in the Hyack area.
Exhibitors at previous Hyack festivals this year have included CTV, Visual College of Art, and New West Public Library. Festivals like this provide an opportunity to connect with community organizations, whether it be trading business cards for job interest or just having a conversation.
The 2025 Hyack Summer Music & Fireworks Festival will take place on August 23 on Quayside Drive in New Westminster.
