Celebrate Blackburn’s community spirit!
The Blackburn FUNFAIR is an annual celebration of community spirit in the first weekend of June.
In operation since 1971 the Blackburn FUNFAIR has always been a community icon. Starting out at Glen Ogilvy School grounds in the early years then moving to the park adjacent to Emily Carr Middle School then making it’s way to 190 Glen Park the fair has survived many changes, storms and other influences but has always come through as a Community Celebration Day for Blackburn Hamlet.
Fingers crossed that COVID regulations which cancelled festivities in 2020 and 2021 will allow for in-person festivities this summer.
And thanks to our volunteers, local businesses, and fabulous community, the Blackburn Funfair will return!
