Celebrate the festival which takes place in Steveston. There are performances on the small stage, lots of activities for the kids like crafts.

The festival is a bit low key. There weren’t many food booths, so don’t go there with an empty stomach. The ice cream on a stick was $4 and takoyaki was $6 for 7 pieces…so we passed.

The booths there are the same as other festivals I’ve seen. (like at the Davie Pride party, Taiwanese Festival and the 125th Anniversary of Stanley Park). It gets a little redundant seeing Telus, TDBank, 24 Hours, etc. You can only collect so many of their resusable bags they hand out. LOL.

You could check out how the Asian immigrants – largely Japanese families lived while working at the cannery.

Here, many of the booths were empty, I think mostly due to the fact that it was posistioned at the very end of the festival, and not everyone came that far.

There was a huge line up to get onto the boat, so we passed on that too…

It was nice to be there on a nice sunny summer day. Good to be out doing something, but not interesting enough for me to go back. But if you happen to be there, do check out the Gulf of Georgia Cannery!
