Fraser Riverkeeper will be promoting our Swim Drink Fish Music Program at this year’s “Artist on the River,” taking place at New Westminster’s Discovery Centre on September 24 from 11:00 – 4:00.
BC Rivers Day is a province-wide event, which gives the public an opportunity to celebrate this province’s spectacular river heritage, from city streams to wilderness whitewater. Held every year on the last weekend in September, events throughout the province attract over 75,000 people in more than 100 communities. The success of this event has recently led to the establishment of World Rivers Day, which coincides with BC Rivers Day and takes place in a number of different countries.
At the Fraser River Discovery Centre, we celebrate BC and World Rivers Day with a festival that honours the Fraser River, the province’s most magnificent river, and its many tributaries. Inspired by the river, Artist on the River is an art and environmental festival that attracts over 3,500 visitors to the Fraser River Discovery Centre and the Westminster Quay boardwalk. Consisting of artists and artisans in all media displaying their work, live entertainment for all ages, and crafts for children and their parents, there is something for everyone!
