If you’re looking for some fantastic free events to check out in Metro Vancouver sooner rather than later, this is for you. Richmond Culture Days is officially back with just over three weeks of 70+ free events, ranging from interactive workshops to pop-up shows.
Every year, Culture Days invites the public to fully immerse themselves in the arts and culture scene in Richmond by participating in barrier-free opportunities like art exhibitions, film screenings, harvest celebrations, and more.
Last year, Culture Days recorded a record number of 3.8 million visitors, making it the most attended in the organization’s history. This year is expected to be no different, and will centre around the Richmond Culture Centre – where the majority of the festival’s free events will take place.
