Photos: Families, community gather for Richmond's West Fest event

West Richmond community celebrated its residents at the annual summer event.

About 100 residents in the West Richmond community came together for the annual West Fest on Tuesday evening.

West Fest is a yearly summer festival at West Richmond Community Centre that brings local families and residents together.

The festival featured performances by Luc LeMans, Rock'n'Beau and West Richmond's own 55+ dancers.

Other activities at the festival included a giant inflatable slide, inflatable curling, balloon twisting, art activities, face painting and a prize wheel.

Don Taylor, president of West Richmond Community Association, said the community centre always looks for ways to "see the happy faces of our residents."

"It's about seeing people come together and just have fun and enjoy themselves," said Taylor.

"Not biased at all, but we have an amazing community and what better way to showcase our residents what we do at the community centre than to host a fun festival."
