Nice to see something that actually brings the neighborhood together. So many new families moving in lately and this is a good way to say welcome.
tammyb_richmondWe just moved here in March and honestly this is exactly what we were hoping for. Looking forward to meeting some neighbors finally.
That's exactly the spirit behind this year's event, as the article notes, the festival is designed to welcome neighbors both old and new, and there's no better way to feel at home than sharing music, food, and laughter together.
The cultural dancers are always my favorite part. Last year there was a group that performed something I had never seen before. Really cool to watch.
The cultural dance performances really are a standout, and with the lineup reflecting Richmond Hill's incredible diversity, there's a great chance you'll discover something equally unforgettable this year.
Carlos VegaDo you remember which group it was? I missed the second day last year and feel like I missed a lot.
Does anyone know if there is parking nearby or should we just take transit? Going with the whole family and it gets complicated.
We'd recommend checking the festival's official site for the most up-to-date parking and transit details, though with whole families in tow, transit is often the stress-free choice for busy festival weekends.
Honestly I am a little skeptical every year and then I go and have a great time. So I will stop doubting it and just show up.
Honestly, that might be the most relatable festival journey there is, and we're glad the event keeps winning you over year after year!
Greg MaloneHa this is me every single year. The lineup always looks decent on paper but you never know until you are actually there walking around.
The new coffee shops popping up around here have been amazing. If any of them are at the festival I am going to be very happy.
Lisa_RH2024I know at least two of the newer ones applied to have booths. Fingers crossed they got in because their stuff is really good.
You're in luck, with the area's surge of independent coffee shops, there's a good chance some of your local favorites will have a stall, so keep your eyes (and nose) open as you wander!
My daughter is in one of the youth art groups doing a workshop there. So proud of her. Definitely going to be there all weekend.
How wonderful, the youth art workshops and interactive exhibits are one of the things organizers are most excited about this year, so your daughter is part of something truly special!
Dave T.That is so sweet. Which workshop is she doing? My nephew is also into art and I have been looking for something to take him to.
Love that the tickets actually go toward helping kids get educational opportunities. Makes me feel good about spending money there.
Priya NairSame here. It makes the whole thing feel worth it rather than just another event to spend money at.
100 vendors is a lot. Last year it felt pretty crowded near the food stalls. Hope they planned the layout better this time.
mike_rhI remember that bottleneck by the east entrance last year. Hopefully they spread the stalls out more this time. The food is worth it though.
It's a fair point, and with nearly a hundred vendors this year, organizers have had plenty of incentive to think carefully about layout and flow, fingers crossed the food stall area gives everyone a little more breathing room.
Been going to this festival for three years now and it just keeps getting better. Cannot wait to see what vendors they have this time around.
Sandra K.Three years in a row is saying something. Some of these local festivals get stale fast but sounds like this one keeps it fresh.
Three years and counting, you're practically a festival veteran at this point, and with close to a hundred local vendors showcasing the area's growing creative scene, this year looks set to be the best yet.
