From bouncy castles to jewellery to shaved ice treats and much, much more, families couldn’t get enough of the Williams Lake Street Party 2022 on Saturday, July 2.
The event was planned to coincide with the Williams Lake Stampede Parade and saw vendors rushing to set up in the streets immediately following the parade for the thousands of eager guests strolling the streets.
The party officially kicked off at noon and took over the area from Oliver Street at Mart Street all the way down to Mackenzie Avenue and parts of First, Second and Third avenues. About 60 vendors and local businesses signed up to be a part of the event, organized by Sunny Dyck.
People could be seen dancing in the streets in front of live music sites, visiting with one another and patiently waiting in lineups for food vendors and children’s activities.
This was the first street party held in two years and judging by the crowds, it was embraced by residents and visitors alike.
