Steveston Village | Tourism Richmond, BC

This quaint fishing village at the mouth of the Fraser River was voted #1 Metro Vancouver neighbourhood out of 192 in 2020. Blending historic charm with a working waterfront and fresh local seafood, Steveston Village makes it easy to spend a summer day by the water.

Stroll Fishers Walk for waterfront views and fun facts about the local fishing industry. Pick up fresh seafood right off the dock, and keep an eye out for seasonal catches like Dungeness crab. Then explore the village’s rich history at nearby heritage sites before settling in at a waterfront restaurant or patio for a dock-to-plate meal with a view.

Whether you are looking to slow down this summer or see it all, Steveston Village offers plenty to discover at your own pace.
