Denman Blackberry Faire held with pirate-themed parade

community · 2018-09-09 · Denman Island

The annual Denman Blackberry Faire featured a pirate-themed parade with creative entries such as pick-up truck mermaids and a chicken on a leash. The event included vendors with long food lines and the popular zucchini race, which was won by a participant who dedicated the victory to the Guesthouse.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
