Think Canada Day parade, beer garden and day-long live music.
After four long years, the annual Steveston Salmon Festival is returning with all its classic live festivities on Canada Day this July.
Canada Day celebrations in Richmond were cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and returned in 2021 and 2022 in a modified format.
On July 1, 2023, visitors are encouraged to get involved and explore the festival with most if its major events taking place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Steveston.
Mary Ann Pizzinato, coordinator of the Steveston Salmon Festival, told the Richmond News the day-long program will feature live music, exhibitions, demonstrations and hands-on activities.
She added the popular Canada Day parade is also returning along with the massive salmon bake, beer garden, art shows, Japanese cultural show, and marketplace.
However, the car show and bullhead derby will not be taking place this year.
“This July 1st is all about community as Steveston Village transforms for Canada Day celebrations, entertainment, and activities for the whole family,” said Pizzinato.
More details to come.
