🌊 Experience the Magic of Coastal Living at the White Rock Sea Festival
One of the biggest perks of living in beautiful White Rock, BC? You’re never far from the action — and nothing captures that better than the return of the beloved White Rock Sea Festival & Semiahmoo Days, happening this year on August 2–3, 2025.
As a local Realtor who lives and works in this vibrant coastal community, I’m constantly reminded of just how special life is by the ocean. Whether it’s morning coffee with a view of the pier, or festivals like this lighting up the waterfront, White Rock offers a lifestyle you won’t find anywhere else in the Lower Mainland.
🎉 What Is the White Rock Sea Festival?
Now in its 74th year, this family-friendly summer festival celebrates the best of White Rock living with live music, food trucks, kids' activities, cultural showcases, and a spectacular fireworks finale.
Spread across three main zones — Semiahmoo Park, Memorial Park, and East Beach — the festival is a joint collaboration between the City of White Rock and the Semiahmoo First Nation, showcasing community, history, and local pride in every detail.
