Party time on Delta Street

In honour of our nation?s birthday, the Delta Museum and Archives Society will spill out onto Delta Street in Ladner Village to host its annual July 1 party.

This family-oriented, fun-filled event kicks off at 9 a.m. with the traditional pancake and sausage breakfast, cooked up by the North Delta, Ladner and Scottsdale Lions Clubs.

Breakfast will be available for purchase until 11 a.m., with all proceeds going to support the museum society?s educational programs for kids.

Official ceremonies begin at 11 a.m. with the singing of the national anthem and messages from local dignitaries.

Then, witness the cutting of a massive birthday cake, with enough for everyone to enjoy.

Party goers will also be entertained with toe-tapping, dance-in-the-street music by the local Celtic band Doghouse, as well as opportunities to enjoy outdoor crafts, activities and contests. Drop by the society?s historical display booth to learn about Delta?s history.

The museum will be open for attendees to explore the three floors of exhibits, and children can participate in a museum scavenger hunt to find clues and facts that showcase the Canadian provinces. There is fun for everyone!
