Richmonds Move for Health Festival kicks off on Friday, May 10, giving residents a chance to try dozens of different sports, dance styles and wellness activities for free at Minoru Park.
We are proud to once again be the provincial launch site for Move for Health Day, and with our expanded programming over this years week-long initiative, we hope to inspire the community to continue to be active on a daily basis, said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.
Richmond is the BC Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA) provincial launch site for Move for Health Day. The festival concludes a week-long campaign to promote the benefits of healthy, active living.
The festival features stage programming that includes the Tropitonics Steel Band and a circus demonstration with Arts Centre instructor Ian Greenwood.
The high energy hip hop performances from Fresh Groove Productions will also take the stage, including Fressh, finalists on the 2012 television shows Canadas Got Talent.
Staff and volunteers from over 20 community organizations will be offering interactive activities for the whole family to try. Festival-goers can also grab a bite from two of the Lower Mainlands most popular healthy food trucks.
The event runs from 6 to 8 p.m. For more information and event details, visit www.richmond.ca/moveforhealth.
