A breezy Bow-Fest on Bowen Island features a pipe band in kilts, swordfighters, a theatre troupe, fire trucks spraying candy, belly-dancers, a drunken horse rider, and the annual Citizen of the Year amid a parade of locals and visitors. The event closes with a No Wall Hall costume contest and a Pirates of the Caribbean screening.
