An exhilarating annual event for over 40 years, Ladysmith Days, which falls on the BC Day long weekend, August 2-3, 2008, is honoring its rich history of mining, logging, fishing and farming by joining the province-wide celebration of BC's 150th anniversary as a colony.

Parade floats and town businesses will be decorated with this heritage theme and there will be an award for the best-dressed business and most eye-catching window display.

A splendid list of activities includes the Kinsmen parade followed by live music and entertainment, pancake breakfast, BBQ steak dinner, fireworks, arts and crafts shows, children's games and activities, including the Ronald MacDonald Sports Zone and kids' kayaking, sand volleyball tournament, horseshoe tournament, and the Nanaimo Bathtub Society will run a bathtub race in Ladysmith harbor.

Ladysmith Days is especially proud to announce that, due to the generous donation of new climbing poles from Island Timberlands, the overwhelmingly popular Logger Sports will return to the amphitheatre at Transfer Beach in 2008.
