The musical lineup is out for the May Days party in Port Coquitlam.
And this year’s celebrations to honour the 102-year-old city tradition includes a new entertainment stage at Leigh Square — just for kids.
From noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, families can walk over after the Rotary May Day parade to hear songs from Choral Connections, The Coyotes and Baron Band, as well as see acts from West Coast Circus.
Meanwhile, from 1 to 8:30 p.m., the main stage for the Party in the Square, in the Terry Fox Hometown Square — south of the Port Coquitlam Community Centre (2150 Wilson Ave.) — will have five performances from:
- Shauna Singer
- Nette Songs
- Generations
- Johnny Bootleg
- The Limit
As well, the party will feature family fun, a food truck and beverage garden, a marketplace and booths run by city and cultural organizations in PoCo.
The May Day festival officially opens on Sunday, May 4 with the royal party and maypole dancing by PoCo kids.
“May Days is more than just a festival — it’s a cherished tradition that brings our community’s history and spirit to life,” Mayor Brad West said in a news release. “From the timeless Maypole dances to the energy of local musicians, this celebration captures the heart of Port Coquitlam.”
