Over 75,000 people from across Richmond & the lower mainland of British Columbia spend Canada Day in Steveston. 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 & much more. Then following the Official Opening Ceremonies on the Main Stage, great entertainment is presented throughout the afternoon. Festival highlights include attractions such as the Japanese Cultural Show, Craft Fair, Trade Show, an awesome Children’s Festival, Carnival rides & Midway, Martial Arts Demonstrations, Belt Sander Drag Races, Youth Festival, multi-ethnic Food Fair plus much more, & our newest addition in 2007, an Art Show & Exhibit. The main attraction is our famous salmon barbecue where over 1200 pounds of wild salmon filets are grilled over open fire pits. This popular treat sells out every year!
