You can travel from the past to the present for free with All Aboard! at the Steveston Interurban Tram Building (4011 Moncton Street) this Saturday (Aug. 9) from noon to 4 p.m. Come out and celebrate transportation in Richmond with guest experts, vintage music, children's crafts and more.

Explore the 102-year-old 1220 Tramcar and watch a colour film of Interurban tramcars running between 1940s Vancouver and Steveston.

Have your photo taken on a vintage rail speeder (a small rail car used to inspect railway lines) and beside a working traffic signal.

The young, or the young at heart, can create tramcar magnets, conductor puppets and their own mini 1220 Interurban tramcar as a memento of their visit.

Representatives from the City of Richmond's transportation division, the Richmond Active Transportation Committee and HUB: Your Cycling Connection will be on hand to provide information on how to get around Richmond in fun, safe and environmentally friendly ways. Meanwhile, heritage railway experts will showcase vintage and antique rail items and can answer questions from enthusiasts and the general public alike.

Outside on the plaza, everyone is invited to enjoy the cool jazz stylings of the Jen Hodge's All Stars starting at noon and the Earbuds String Band at 2 p.m. For more information, call 604-238-8081.
