I know this is extremely short notice, but I just found out about it. I hope to meet some of you girls out there!
Let's meet at the main entrance gate (entrance fee is $7 per person). If you want, you can email me your phone number through meetup and I'll text you mine (so we can find each other).
Here's the text from the website:

Welcome to the 12th Annual European Festival!
We invite you to join us for 15 hours of family fun at our Festival in Burnaby on Saturday May 30th 2009. Swirling flags and colourful ethnic costumes will highlight the Opening Ceremony parade. Enjoy the non-stop Stage Performances. Share stories with the country representatives at the 32 Cultural Display booths. Youngsters will delight in the arts & crafts and face-painting in the Children's Tent. As well as collecting country stamps for their Festival Passports and acrobatics in the Bouncing Castle. Shop for unique products in the MarketPlace Tent. Treat your taste buds by sampling delicious recipes in the Food Tent. The Beer Garden will provide the perfect spot to relax with a brew while watching the stage performances. Then cap off the evening by dancing up a storm inside the Scandinavian Centre to the retro/rock songs of "The Tom Cats" band.
