"BC Day is all about celebrating our province’s spirit and the people who make Richmond such a vibrant community,” said event coordinator Jackie Lee.
“We look forward to seeing families, friends and neighbours come together for a day of fun, food and connection.”
While the event is free, space is limited so organizers are asking people to RSVP.
