Hundreds lined up for food samples, face painting, balloon twisting, hair braiding and Edward the Magician during Willoughby DAYZ at Willoughby Town Centre on Saturday, Sept. 7.
Organizer Tracey Ehman, in charge of social media, website, and marketing at Willoughby Town Centre, at 80 Avenue and 208 Street, said turnout for the free event was “great.”
"A lot of businesses are participating and the community is walking over, which is what we love," Ehman told the Langley Advance Times.
"We had a couple of COVID years where we weren't happening but we're back again and we're better than ever."

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., visitors could pick up passports from participating businesses and collect stamps as they walked through the centre.
Once a passport was fully stamped, it could be entered in a draw to win one of more than 20 prize baskets filled with gift certificates and products donated by merchants.
