From pop-up performances to hands-on workshops, this three-week celebration invites you to explore the vibrant creativity thriving in your own backyard. Now in its 16th year, Culture Days highlights the diverse artists, communities and traditions that shape and enrich the local arts and culture landscape.
The kick-off weekend will take place on Saturday, Sept. 20 and Sunday, Sept. 21 with programming at the Richmond Cultural Centre and Cultural Centre Annex, located at 7700 and 7660 Minoru Gate. Event highlights include:

Minoru Precinct and Steveston Village are official Culture Days Hubs, each with multiple experiences to explore. As part of the Minoru Precinct Hub, Richmond residents are invited to Culture Moves Us on Saturday, Sept. 20, 9 a.m. at Minoru Centre for Active Living (7191 Granville Avenue), a celebration of community that showcases Richmond’s vibrant culture and its many forms of physical activity, which contributed to the city’s recent title of Canada’s Most Active Community.

Culture Days is a national celebration of arts and culture that takes place annually in September and October. Community organizers present more participatory events in Richmond than anywhere else in the province, and as a result, Richmond is consistently recognized nationally as a top participating community. Last year, Culture Days reported participation from a record 5 million people across Canada, with more than 4,000 events presented by 1,500 organizers in 350 communities.
