Inspired by the beauty and adventure of our coastal home, this theme celebrates everything we love about life on the water — from the majestic whales just offshore to the winding trails that connect our community to the ocean.

Whether you’re planning a float, costume, booth, or activity, we invite you to dive into the theme and get creative! Think ocean wildlife, marine adventures, coastal exploration, and all things that make Prince Rupert so special.

Let’s come together to make this year’s Seafest unforgettable — full of creativity, community spirit, and seaside fun
