Salmon Days

We arrived on Malcolm Island just in time to celebrate Salmon days which is one of the 3 big celebrations during the year on this small island.
The weather wasn't great but the sun did come out while the parade wandered down the main street.





Later in the day the salmon was served. Bar-b-qued on a cedar plank and served with  delicious salads it was a meal to remember. All to the music of Valdi who was playing live for us.


Later in the evening there was lots of dancing with the help of a local band.
The next morning  the main street was closed and set up for a big pancake breakfast put on by Victor at the Upper Crust. All to the sounds of local musicians that entertained the breakfast crowd from an open stage.
It was an amazing event for a small community. I'm really looking forward to the next big celebration here in November-Winterfest.
