Crowds of people lined the streets of downtown Terrace to see this year’s Riverboat Days Legion Parade Saturday.

The parade began at 11 a.m. at City Hall on Eby Street and turneddown to Lakelse Ave. before going back up toward the Terrace Legion for a family barbecue and results presentation.

People saw dozens of floats cruise down Lakelse Avenue, with some newcomers this year.

Best overall float went to the Bhangra Dancers, who put on a show for spectators as they danced down the street.

The Royal Canadian Legion won first place in the Non-Commercial category, with BC Government and Service Employees Union in second place and Kitselas First Nation in third.

Thompson Community were awarded first place in the Commercial category, followed by Progressive Ventures in second and 7 Eleven in third.

Free Elements Dance won over the crowd with their impressive skills, placing first in the Dance Groups and Bands category. Peak Gymnastics came in second, with the Terrace Pipes and Drums securing third.
