Things to Do in Richmond, BC This Fall

When fall arrives, Richmond’s landscape takes on warmer hues, while the milder weather makes it a season for lingering outdoors—wandering the trails, watching the skies for migrating birds and getting a taste of the region’s agricultural roots. And even when the rain inevitably settles in later in the season, there are still plenty of ways to keep exploring. From seasonal traditions and wildlife encounters to entertaining indoor diversions, fall offers a chance to slow down and discover another side of Richmond.

Follow the birds along the Pacific Flyway

The city’s wetlands, waterways, mudflats and open fields sit along the Pacific Flyway, a major migration corridor stretching along the western edge of North and South America. Each fall, birds follow this route south from their northern breeding grounds, making Richmond an important stopover and giving you plenty of opportunities to watch migration unfold across the city.
