Welcome to our web site. We are the Nanaimo Dry Grad Society, made up of volunteers, who organize and run this annual event. It has run now for 23 years.

Next Planning meeting: Mar 29th, 2012. Wellington Secondary Library 7 pm

What is Dry Grad?

Dry Grad provides graduating students with the opportunity to celebrate their success at an alcohol and drug-free event. 900 students attended Dry Grad 2011. We hope with further support and awareness about Dry Grad this number will grow yearly! This year the celebration will start on Friday, June 29th, 2012 at 8 pm.

Dry Grad takes place throughout the entire Beban Park complex. Many fun filled activities will be at the fingertips of the graduating classes. Events like karaoke, scuba diving, kayak races, movies, prize give-aways and much more will round out the all night affair. Colossal amounts of food and drink, friends, music – a lot of fun!  Every grad should attend this exciting event!Approximately 900 students and 250 volunteers participating during the night.
