Monday, August 3rd

11:00 am to 3:00 pm

Looking for the perfect family-friendly way to spend the August long weekend? Step into history and celebrate British Columbia's vibrant heritage at the Britannia Mine Museum!

Join us on BC Day for a lively, community-focused celebration filled with classic outdoor games, toe-tapping live music, and of course, our award-winning underground tours. Whether you are aiming for a ringer in cornhole or dancing around the maypole, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Featuring live performances by The Little Mountain Brass Band!

Grab a seat and enjoy the rich, vibrant sounds of The Little Mountain Brass Band.

Playing in the proud tradition of the British Brass Band, this beloved local ensemble was formed in September of 1995. Taking their name from their very first rehearsal space near Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Park - known locally as "Little Mountain" - the band recently celebrated a milestone 30th Anniversary!

From humble beginnings, they have grown into a highly popular ensemble across Greater Vancouver, bringing incredible performances to the Lower Mainland, the Okanagan, Whistler, and now Britannia Mine Museum!

Enjoy three different outdoor performances throughout the day!

All that exploring is sure to work up an appetite.

Stop by our refreshment kiosk during the festivities to grab some snacks while you watch the band.

Hungry for more? Join us at the Chatterbox Café for a selection of gourmet coffees, sandwiches, snacks, ice cream and more!
