Steveston Spot Prawn & Seafood Celebration
Richmond is a unique Canadian coastal destination, steeped in history, character and charm. From May 14 to June 14, the Steveston Spot Prawn and Seafood Celebration celebrates this coastal culture with a programme of events and activities, including fresh seafood brought into Fisherman’s Wharf daily, demonstrations from professional chefs featuring seafood caught by local Steveston fishers, and special culinary experiences such as The Fisherman’s Table.
Visitors can also sample local seafood through participating restaurant menus as part of our Dine About promotion.
Please kindly note that dates are subject to change as we ensure The Celebration aligns with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans fishery notice for spot prawns.
