The Kashmiri community in British Columbia gathered for a heartwarming get-together over the October long weekend at Riverfront Park in South Vancouver. Around 50 people, mostly families with children, attended the event, enjoying a day of connection and fun amidst nature.
The gathering started after lunch, giving attendees a flexible window to arrive. A shared feast brought everyone together, featuring tea for the adults, juice for the kids, and an array of snacks like samosas, cakes, chips, dry fruits, and fresh fruit. The spread was as vibrant as the atmosphere, filled with laughter and conversation.
The natural beauty of the park provided a perfect setting for outdoor activities. Adults and children alike participated in card games, cricket, basketball, and leisurely walks along the riverside trails. The younger ones ran freely across the grassy fields, while others soaked in the peaceful surroundings.
As the day unfolded, it became a blend of relaxation and excitement, with everyone contributing to the lively yet serene atmosphere. Stories were shared, friendships deepened, and new connections formed within the community.
The gathering extended into the evening, with attendees savoring the last moments of the day before packing up. It was a memorable event that reminded everyone of the joy and strength of community, bringing a touch of Kashmiri warmth to South Vancouver.
