Summer in Richmond |

Richmond offers a chockablock season of fun events and activities throughout the lazy days of summer.

From shoreline restaurant patios to pick-your-own berry farms and from vine-striped wineries to beach-hugging parks where picnics (and ice cream) are highly recommended, there are countless ways to enjoy the longer days and reconnect with the sunny side of life here.

Friendly farmers’ markets and the must-see Richmond Night Market hit their stride at this time of year. And if you’re keen to stretch your legs, there are great walking and biking trails (the low-rise topography makes this an easy cycling city). Be sure to stop and enjoy nature’s restorative magic; some of B.C.’s best urban parks and green spaces are here––and all are at their blooming best in summer.

Save time for the Britannia Ship yards National Historic Site, a boardwalk hamlet of antique cottages and boat sheds. And make a day of it with a sun-dappled saunter to the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site, where evocative museum exhibits and guided tours await. Summer is also a festival hotbed here, with countless pop-up happenings and huge signature events such as the Steveston Salmon Festival and Richmond Maritime Festival.
