New Westminster’s Hyack Multicultural Parade and Festival returns on Saturday, May 23. Daily Hive reported that the parade starts at 11 a.m. near 8th Avenue and 6th Street, then moves through Uptown New West before the afternoon festival at Tipperary Park.

The event is free and family-oriented, with live music, food trucks, vendors and community programming. It also brings practical traffic changes. Several streets around the parade route and staging areas are expected to close, and drivers are being pointed toward Royal City Centre, Westminster Centre and Belmont Parkade for parking options.
