RiverFest New West enjoyed two sold-out events and an action packed festival on the waterfront.
Crowds flocked to the waterfront on Saturday for the 14th annual RiverFest, which featured art, historical, environmental and conservation projects, children’s activities, live music and the Lucille Johnstone workboat parade.
Stephen Bruyneel, interim executive director of Fraser River Discovery Centre, said two special events held as part of the festival were “amazing successes” and both sold out.
On Thursday, Sept. 22, Fraser River Discovery Centre hosted the Canadian premiere of Yakona, a film about Texas’s San Marcos River and its relationship to the world around it. Discovery Centre partnered with the New Westminster Arts Council for this year’s *click* photos of the fraser exhibit and the Living, Working River art exhibit, which were unveiled on Friday, Sept. 23.
