Sicamous was a fun place to be for Canada Day despite the heavy rain through most of the day. The events downtown featured a road hockey tournament, inflatables for the kids to play on, an art show featuring plenty of local talent at the Red Barn and much more.
The late afternoon and evening saw the party move down to the beach park where those with enough grit to break out the umbrellas and brave the rain were treated to a musical show from local band Shoeswap, reggae/rock trio The Steadies, Donnie McDougall and Five Alarm Funk to close the evening out.
The rain stopped just as people began lining the retaining wall and pedestrian bridge of the Beach Park to take in the fireworks display.
