There were 15 hours of family fun to enjoy at our Festival in Burnaby on Saturday May 29th 2010. Gates opened at 10am. Swirling flags and colourful ethnic costumes highlighted the Opening Ceremony parade. Everyone enjoyed the non-stop Stage Performances. Country representatives shared stories at the 30 Cultural Display booths. Youngsters delighted in the arts & crafts, balloon twisting, and face-painting in the Children's Tent. They had a great time doing acrobatics in the Bouncy Castle, climbing up the Swiss Rock Wall, and collecting country stamps for their Festival Passports. Unique products will be for sale in the MarketPlace Tent. Visitors treated their taste buds by sampling delicious recipes in the Food Tent. The Beer Garden was a perfect spot for adults to relax with a brew while watching the stage performances. A crowd finished off the evening by dancing up a storm inside the Scandinavian Centre to the sounds of a live Bohemian Express Band. Overall, 5,500 visitors attended the Festival this year.

Countries that took part were: Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Metis Nation, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey,  & Ukraine.
