Widely known as “Canada’s biggest littlest birthday party,” the Salmon Festival in Steveston, British Columbia, returns for its 67th year on Canada Day (July 1).
The people of Steveston have come together every year since 1945 to celebrate Canada’s birthday and the rich heritage of their community. This day-long extravaganza features a parade, carnival rides, cultural displays, a pancake breakfast, art shows and a children’s festival. But the main event is the renowned salmon barbeque, where over 1,200 pounds of fresh BC sockeye salmon are grilled over a wood fire and served to legions of hungry revellers.
