Once a year, Port Hardy holds a celebration in Rotary Park on the third weekend of July to acknowledge its natural resource based economy. The three syllables, Fi, Lo and Mi, stand for "Fishing, Logging and Mining". The celebration includes festivities in the park such as activities for children, fundraising concessions, entertainment, beer gardens, a dunk-tank, balloons, bake sales, craft sales, and fireworks. A dance for each age group and a parade are also held on Filomi Days weekend- typically the 3rd weekend in July
Port Hardy is a small community in British Columbia , Canada located on the north-eastern coast of Vancouver_Island. Port Hardy has a population of 4,575 at last census (2001). It is the gateway to Cape Scott Provincial Park and the newly opened North Coast Trail on the northern most tip of Vancouver Island. British Columbia provincial highway 19 which stretches from one end of Vancouver Island to the other, ends in Port Hardy, right near Rotary Park. This explains the town's motto, found on a sign entering town, that reads, "where the highway ends and the adventure begins."
