Youbou Regatta, Breakfast & Parade – August 8 2026

Celebrate one of Youbou’s favourite summer traditions with the Youbou Community Association! Start your morning with a delicious breakfast at the Youbou Fire Hall before joining The World’s Shortest Parade, featuring the YCA float and plenty of community spirit.

After the parade, head to the regatta for a day of family-friendly fun, including swimming races, a chalk art contest, a watermelon eating competition, and the always-popular belly flop contest.

Be sure to stop by the Youbou Community Association booth to meet our volunteers, learn about upcoming events, discover ways to get involved, and see how you can help make Youbou an even stronger community.

Whether you’re a longtime resident or visiting for the day, there’s something for everyone. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Our metal bin is now permanently closed.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported our fundraising efforts over the years by donating items to the bin. The funds raised helped support the hall by replacing outdated equipment, supporting local charities, and helping with community events.

We are grateful and proud to have helped keep unwanted metal items out of our forests and other areas where they do not belong.

We kindly ask that people no longer bring metal items to the fire hall and instead find an alternative recycling option.

Thank you for your continued support.
