Stevenston Salmon Festival
Steveston Salmon Festival is Richmond’s marquee Canada Day Celebration. With over 80,000 people expected, the festival will feature multiple stages with over 75 performances, an expansive community parade, and a big fireworks finale! Salmon Festival will include numerous dining options from our 30 food trucks, chow mein tent, and salmon bake. Plus, the festival will have many great activity zones to keep you entertained.
Headlining the Main Stage, presented by TD Bank, will be Canadian rock radio mainstays, 54-40. Vancouver’s own Bend Sinister and Steveston staples Urban Myth and Line 49 will also hit the stage to help celebrate Canada’s birthday.
Returning will be the crowd favourites; the region’s largest Canada Day parade, preceded by a children’s bicycle parade, the longstanding and mouth-watering traditions of the salmon barbecue and chow mein feast, plus the Japanese Cultural Show, Trade Show, Horticultural Show and much more.
The main attraction is our famous salmon barbecue where over 1200 pounds of wild salmon filets are grilled over open fire pits. Details
