Parade Update
It is with heavy hearts that the Buccaneer Days Organizing Committee has to announce that we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the Parade this year. We know this will be a disappointment to many.
​
There have been recent changes to parade security, including a new route and safety requirements that have underscored the need for a dedicated Parade Lead… unfortunately we were unsuccessful in recruiting the required resources this year. We thank the many who have reached out to help, unfortunately it is too late for this year, as the key role we need is the Parade Lead, to organize the several months of planning.
​
We are eager (and expect) to see the parade back next year and will continue our efforts to recruit a Parade Lead. If you, or someone you know may be interested, we would be eager to discuss with them!
​
The rest of Buccaneer Days will continue as planned.

In 1939, Esquimalt began holding a May Queen celebration. This evolved into Esquimalt Days and eventually, in 1966, became Buccaneer Days.
The town turned out in naval and pirate attire, vying for prizes for the best costume. Esquimalt residents were also awakened at a mighty early hour by a loudspeaker mounted atop a van calling “Wakey, Wakey!”
Buccaneer Days festivities have always been well attended, with over 20 community organizations taking part, which allows our community to work and play together, have a great time, and instill a feeling of accomplishment and pride in our community.
