[edit] Richmond Maritime Festival
This festival is held every August in Richmond, British Columbia at the Britannia Shipyard, National Historic Site. It is a fantastic celebration of Richmond's traditional connection with the sea. This family event showcases a variety of maritime exhibits, such as knot tying, rope making, model boat building and net mending. The whole family can enjoy live entertainment and participate in hands-on demonstrations. The water showcases a floating exhibition of boats which can be boarded and explored. This event is sponsored by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, the Britannia Heritage Shipyard and M & M Meats.
