REGINA — Hundreds of people gathered around Victoria Park for the annual I Love Regina Day.
The event brings forth live music, food, vendors, runs and more.
“Events like this are important for the community because they bring people together. It's a free event for everybody. It's an inclusive event,” said Mayor Chad Bachynski.
This year marks the 23rd edition of I Love Regina Day, which began in 2002 after city staff were inspired by the idea of the I Love New York campaign.
Planning for I Love Regina Day takes months, which Bachynski credits to the community staff, partners and volunteers for all coming together.
“I think it's a good testament to how the community always comes together,” said Bachynski.
This year’s event alone has roughly 70 volunteers.
As for what he’s looking forward to, Bachynski is excited to see rock and roll band The Down Home Boys perform later on Saturday.
I Love Regina Day continues until 3 p.m.
