This annual spring community festival mixes some of New Westminster's best-loved traditions with a kaleidoscope of modern events.

Pam Ann is the BRAND NEW face of London Heathrow Sky Team's Terminal 4 and is touching down in Canada. Direct from sell-out tours in Europe, USA and Australia, Pam Ann: ‘Around the World' is set to take off in June 2012 for a Tour in Canada. Glamorous, hilarious and outrageous, Pucci-clad Pam has toured with Cher, crewed private jets for Elton John and even Madonna is a huge fan. Pam Ann takes passengers on a raucous journey from security check-in, to boarding, to hopefully, landing. Fasten your seatbelts, stow your designer hand luggage and prepare to be down like you've never been down before. Tickets available at www.ticketmaster.ca
