Steveston Salmon Festival 2026

The City of Richmond, Steveston Community Society and Richmond Agricultural and Industrial Society present the 79th annual Steveston Salmon Festival on July 1, 2026. One of the country’s largest and most cherished Canada Day events returns to historic Steveston Village for an all-day celebration. Kicking off with a Kids Bike Parade at 9:30am — followed by the highly anticipated Community Parade — highlights of the event include Sammy’s Fun Zone for young families, skateboarding demos and more at the Sports on Courts area, and live music across three stages. This year’s headliner is the Canadian rock band Barney Bentall & The Legendary Hearts. Foodies will want to arrive early for hot pancakes, the annual Salmon Bake, Japanese-Canadian Chow Mein, and a lineup of food trucks. This festival honours the local community spirit and storied fishing heritage through live entertainment, youth performances, and delicious food. Not to mention, it’s free for all to attend and celebrate!
