Lead organization: Fraser River Discovery Centre.

Celebrate BC Rivers Day and World Rivers Day at the FRDC! We’re thrilled to announce the return of RiverFest for its 23rd year! Proudly presented by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, representing the Port of Vancouver, this beloved community event is a FREE, family-friendly celebration of the living, working Fraser River.

This year, RiverFest will take place over three days—September 20, 27, and 28—offering a dynamic mix of exhibits, live performances, exhibitor expo and artisan market, the Lucille Johnstone Workboat Parade, and many fun activities for all ages. 

On September 20, we’re excited to offer a series of walks and workshops that invite you to connect more deeply with the river and its stories. These include a family yoga session, a guided walk along the quayside, a horticulture walk, and a smartphone photography workshop. Space is limited – pre-registration is recommended and will be prioritized. Pre-registration will be open soon.
