Lake Days
Celebrating Comox Lake
A campground opened by the Kinsmen in the 1940s is operated by the Lake Park Society today, providing programing and public access to the lake. From 1960 until 1994, ‘Comox Lake Days’ was an annual event created by the village designed to promote the lake as an attraction.
Family oriented activities such as tug of war, BBQs, face painting and a host of water sports, including wind-surfing, brought families together to celebrate the natural landscape.

Marmie Carter, in charge of the lake days activities, announced that plans are nearing competition for a two-day celebration, including a beer garden on Sunday, July 18. Other activities planned include the pancake breakfast Saturday, an event in the past which has provided highly successful; deadhead derby, air force show and the ever popular sunset ceremony, performed by cadets…Many local clubs and organizations will take part in two days of fun and frolic.
