Flowers are springing up all over Burnaby which means it's almost time for the beloved Burnaby Blooms festival to return.
The family-friendly event hosted by the city will kick off on Sunday, May 5 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts and Deer Lake Park.
Guests can experience eco-art installations, educational and cultural walking tours, kids' yoga, a labyrinth and plant sales, according to a city press release.
An expert speaker series will feature talks "The Birds of Deer Lake," "Bees and Blooms," "Mushroom Walk," "The Indigenous Natural History of Deer Lake," and more.
The event will have food trucks and roving entertainment (including a kid's stage) all day.
Two Burnaby Blooms micro-events will also be held in May, the first on Saturday, May 18 at the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area and the second on Saturday, May 25 along the BC Parkway (between Metrotown and Patterson SkyTrain stations).
Both micro-events will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
