RIVERBOAT DAYS 2010: Friday, July 30 to Sunday, August 8
Starting the August long weekend, Riverboat Days is an entire week to appreciate the history, the culture and simply the unequaled natural setting around Terrace. Riverboat Days has grown to become the premiere community festival of northwestern British Columbia. Longstanding favourites such as the Legion Parade, the fireworks over Ferry Island and Concerts in the Park are sure to please.
Riverboat Days very varied program is loaded with entertainment gems for all ages and for a broad range of interests, such as music, sports, the arts and history. Encourage that young child to enter the Kiddies Parade, sample delicious fare in the "Taste of Terrace" tour or wander along the 4600 Block and see what local artists are creating in "Artists in Motion." New events in 2009 included a 24 Hour Bike Race, a "life-size" team Human Foosball Tournament, Dragon Boating Open House and Collectibles Workshop. Longterm fans of Riverboat Days flock to the Kitsumkalum Salmon Barbecue and Riverside Music Festival--now organized by the Northwest BC Metis Association. And what a lead performer they brought this year: Canadian Country Hall of Fame Member Ronnie Prophet! The line up is still accessible by selecting the Riverside Festival poster image below. But if your music tastes lean towards rock, you have to be at George Little Park, on the Saturday of the August long weekend.
