The final day of Seafest brings residents to the waterfront area of the Rotary Waterfront park where a number of events have been planned to bring the 41st edition of the annual festival to a close.
With the road to the waterfront closed to traffic, participants have a couple of options to take in the harbour festivities approaching from the top of the hill at Second Street and First Avenue West or making the enjoyable walk along the waterfront walkway from the Atlin Terminal region.
The majority of the events for Seafest Sunday take place at two locations the Cow Bay Wharf/Atlin Terminal area and the Rotary Waterfront park.
