Vancouver's Largest Water Fight

1:00pm - 4:00pm
Where
Lumbermans Arch, in Stanley Park, Vancouver
While you are down at Stanley Park for Parks Day, why not stop by the Lumbermans Arch where Vancouver's largest water fight will be taking place. This is a sort of flash mob event and I think it happens annually. Make sure you bring a change of clothing if you are planning to participate!
