The Minoru Halloween Fireworks Festival is returning for the first time since 2019.
The event will take place on the Minoru Track (7191 Granville Ave.) on Oct. 31. The festival will be open from 6:30 to 8:45 p.m., with fireworks beginning at 8:30 p.m.
The main objective of the event is “for people of all ages to enjoy a professional fireworks show in a safe, free, and family-oriented environment,” says Clay Adams, the city’s director of corporate communications and marketing.
“The event has been in place for several years and is one of the few in the Lower Mainland to feature a fireworks display. The City of Richmond has a history of staging family-friendly events, and this is just another example of that tradition,” says Adams.
Normally, the city also hosts fireworks for its Canada Day celebrations, although that fireworks display has been cancelled for the last several years.
Minoru Halloween Fireworks Festival attendees can dress up in spooky costumes and enjoy live music, dancing, roving performers, live performances, and more. There will also be family-friendly activities for children to participate in like face painting and trick-or-treating.
“We are thrilled to once again be able to welcome families back to the Halloween Festival. This has always been a popular event and we know it was missed during the pandemic. The city welcomes everyone to come and be a part of the spooky celebrations once again,” says Adams.
People are reminded that members of the public are not allowed to possess, buy, sell, or detonate fireworks in Richmond. Only licensed fireworks supervisors and senior pyrotechnicians can apply for display permits, per the city’s Fire Protection and Life Safety Bylaw 8306.
