Stoney Creek Canada Flag Day Parade
May 29, 2010, 2:00 pm
Last updated- Jan 10, 2010
In
2010, the community of Stoney Creek, Ontario will be hosting the 41st Stoney
Creek Canada Flag Day. The festival, started in 1969, honours Canada’s internationally
famous maple leaf flag. This local event is unusual in that it takes place a
month before the more traditional Canada Day, and that it focuses on a
combination of pride in the Canada Flag and local civil spirit.
The 2010 parade
runs on King Street, Stoney Creek, from Gray's Road to the Community Park (and
arena). Over sixty entries, including a half dozen bands, will be
participating. The parade is free to the public.

PAINTING
