A big, two-day street party of sorts could be coming to Richmond’s downtown core next September, according to a staff report to the parks committee last week.
The city is hoping to draw a “prominent headline performer to close out the main stage on Saturday” of the Labour Day long weekend at City Centre.
The party could feature a farmers market, artisans, food trucks and performers catering to families and children, stated the report.
The city expects to spend $170,000 (on par with Ships to Shore and Maritime Festival budgets) and draw 80,000 people.
The report was endorsed by the committee and should pass through council next week.
