The stunning natural and nautical
splendour of the oldest shipyard in British Columbia will be showcased August 9 to 11 at the 10th Annual Richmond Maritime Festival presented by Port Metro Vancouver. Landlubbers and nautical buffs alike will find this free family event awash with surprises.
Be entertained by music, painters, potters, storytellers, dancers, drummers and much more. Learn local lore, help create an interactive soundscape from
reclaimed materials, make a kite, fold origami swans and be captivated by friendly pirates and other characters.
But whatever you do, don’t forget to visit the bounty of beautiful boats moored at the 190-metre (600-foot) dock, including the tall ship Lady Washington.
Free and fun for all ages, the Richmond Maritime Festival is one of Metro Vancouver’s largest, don’t-miss summer events.
