Photos: Maritime Festival wraps up in Steveston on Sunday

Boat visits, fishing exhibits, live performances and more for everyone.

Thousands of people filled up Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site’s boardwalk and docks for the final day of the Richmond Maritime Festival on Sunday.

The festival celebrates its 20th year of showcasing the city’s fishing history and related industries.

The main attraction was people stepping aboard restored wooden vessels like the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, The Viking Mariner, and the Delta Canadian boats, experiencing life as mariners.

Live music, mural paintings, food trucks, historic exhibits and performances were also held throughout the two-day event.
