Steveston Park
July 1, 2013
Come be part of “Canada’s biggest little birthday party” at the 67th Annual Steveston Salmon Festival on Monday, July 1, 2013.
The people of Steveston have come together every year since 1945 to celebrate Canada’s birthday and the rich heritage of our community in one of the largest Canada Day celebrations across the country! On average, over 70,000 people from across Richmond, Metro Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest spend Canada Day at the Steveston Salmon Festival.
The day begins with a parade through historic Steveston village, which features over 100 entries including floats, marching bands, celebrities, politicians, community groups, vintage vehicles and much more. Festival highlights include:
- Japanese Cultural Show
- craft fair
- trade show
- Children’s Festival
- carnival
- martial arts demonstrations
- Youth Rock Fest
- food fair
- art show and exhibit
The main attraction is the famous salmon barbecue, where over 1,200 pounds of wild salmon filets are grilled over open fire pits. This popular treat sells out every year!
