A: Rivermania is a unique celebration that honours the Fraser River and Its Peoples. From August 24 - September 28, 2008, a flotilla of boats will journey down the Fraser River. The flotilla will depart Prince George on August 24 and arrive in Steveston (Richmond) on September 28. Along the way, the flotilla will stop in communities where you can participate in festivals, special events, and outdoor activities.
