Comox is the second largest of the communities that comprise the Comox Valley. Often referred to as Comox by the Sea because of its proximity to the Comox Harbour and the Georgia Strait, it offers many different distractions during the summer. So what is happening in Comox By the Sea this 2013 summer?
Nautical Days is an annual festival that is hosted by Comox during the B.C. Day long weekend. Show up for this festival and you will experience music on the street corners, an Elvis impersonator on the main stage of Marina Park, the Naden (Royal Canadian Naval) Band on Saturday, and fireworks on Monday night. This year marks the 55th anniversary of the festival.
A month before the summer concert series starts on the grounds of the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park. Enjoy concerts from 7 to 9 pm on the 4th and 18th of July as well ass the 15th and 27th of August. Right in the middle of this enjoy the 27th annual Comox Valley Classic Cruisers Graffiti Show and Shine car show in nearby downtown Courtenay (the largest city among the communities in our valley) on the 28th of July. Stand on Comox Avenue or in any number of other spots the night before and watch the parade of custom cars drive by.
Want something more? Come out to the Fine Art Show and Sale at Marina Park in Comox on the 10th and 11th of August. Other events at the park include the BC Shellfish Festival on June 14 and 15, and the Comox Cup Road Hockey Tournament 21-23 June.
On a daily basis, enjoy our friendly shops and services, cafes and restaurants, picturesque marina boardwalk and our scenic 9 hole golf course right next to downtown. Mind the deer on the course as well as those wandering around on nearby streets. They are in ho hurry to cross the road. Their pace of life is a bit of a reflection of ours. No hustle and bustle of that of larger cities in BC and that is just the way we like it. Buy fresh fish straight from local commercial fishermen at the local dock or sip on a glass of wine at a nearby winery.
