Richmond Cherry Blossom Festival

This festival celebrates the arrival of spring and blooming of the cherry blossoms. In Japan, cherry blossoms are known as sakura, which are a special flower to the people and that country. The cherry blossom signifies a time of renewal and the cycle of life. Two weeks after the peak of the cherry blossom’s bloom, the petals begin to fall. The cherry blossom celebration includes picnics under the cherry trees with food and drinks shared with friends and family. This tradition - known as hanami - translates to “watching blossoms,” and can be traced back hundreds of years.

Easter FUNday! Celebrate Easter FUNday in Pitt Meadows

The easter egg hunt is self-guided, and you don’t need to do it first! Please bring a basket to collect the eggs as there won't be any available at the event. There will be eight large Easter characters hidden throughout the park, each one will have a basket of eggs – once you find a character, take ONE egg only. Once you’ve found at least six characters you can exchange the eggs at the egg-change station for a goodie bag. One goodie bag per child – your ribbon gets turned in at the same time you turn in your eggs.
Dates: 
04/09/2023
In order to limit crowding and to make sure the Easter Bunny has enough supplies for everyone - register for one of three time slots: (10am-11:30am /11:30am-1pm /1pm-2:30pm).
