This celebration features a combination of three events, making it the largest gymnastics event in the province. The Best of the West Gymnastics Fest includes the Western Canadian Artistic Gymnastics Championships, with teams representing all four western provinces and two territories; the BC Provincial Gymnaestrada, a Gymnastics For All program with participants from across the province; and the annual Delta Invitational and Cash & Carry cup. Approximately 1,800 athletes will participate in this one-of-a-kind festival that highlights the sport and activity of gymnastics from recreational to elite levels. The event will take place at the Richmond Olympic Oval, an iconic building that will attract audiences to experience four unforgettable days of hard work and celebration. Event website: http://deltagymnastics.com/best-of-the-west Gymnaestrada is a unique form of participation in gymnastics across all ages and skill levels. The main focus is on group participation and performance. The primary purposes of Gymnaestrada are to: promote and encourage the growth of PLAY Gymnastics For All, inspire and encourage enjoyment in exercise, and showcase the development of the participants. In partnership with a member club, the BC Gymnaestrada is the largest PLAY recreational gymnastics event in the province. During the annual event, performers participate in workshops centered on teambuilding and cooperative activities, and ultimately perform their group routines.
