Sunday fun-day

Richmond Farm Fest

Foodies will be delighted to discover the delicious riches at the Farmers Market, from local produce to fresh flavours and artisanal products.

Don’t forget to try out some food and drinks from Richmond’s culinary community along the way.

Speaking of, the festival will be collaborating with Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), selling a special beer from the school’s brewing program. This year’s beer will be a Raspberry Hefeweizen, made with local berries and KPU’s 50-50 mix of base wheat and Canadian malted barley.

Something for all ages

Bring the kiddos to the Little Farmers Kids’ Zone for fun activities and check out the agricultural and garden displays for a dose of natural knowledge.

Richmond’s agriculture story will be highlighted throughout the day in the Haybale Theatre, platforming the rich farming heritage of the area.

The Community Stage will feature lively music, and there will also be farm wagon tours to get up close to the surrounding landscape. Plus, there’s also a culinary demonstration stage with a live demo from Black and Blue Steakhouse Executive Chef Jonathon Lee.
