For many years, Comox Nautical Days was an incredible success — thanks in large part to two outstanding community members: Dave and Paul.
As the festival producer, Dave Stevenson took on the huge responsibility of organizing the logistics behind the scenes. From security and food trucks to stage setup, music, and even volunteer meals — he made sure every detail was covered and kept things running smoothly.
Paul Baal led the Arts & Crafts section for 15 years, managing months of planning, countless applications, and every last detail during the festival itself. His dedication ensured a high-quality, well-balanced fair that so many enjoyed.
Working side by side, Dave and Paul met regularly, shared the workload, and kept the festival’s success top of mind. Their teamwork brought joy and lasting memories to thousands in our community.
On behalf of Council and the Town of Comox — thank you, Dave and Paul, for your dedication and service to the festival. You’ve left a lasting mark on this annual community event.
