Welcome To Riverboat Days 2014 Music, a parade, fireworks, great food—it’s Riverboat Days! This is the time of year people gather in Terrace to celebrate this place, its natural beauty, its history, its people. Riverboat Days is the time to have fun during the peak of summer. So many new experiences on offer as event organizers open their doors. Never tried archery before? Never been to a drag race? Never peaked inside the Grand Trunk Pathway railcar? Why not this year?

100 years ago great changes were underway in the Skeena Valley. 1914 marked completion of the transcontinental Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, thus signalling the end of the Sternwheeler era. It was also start of the Great War. The economy would change, people would move to and from the region. In many ways this history still shapes us and maybe parallels current events. Riverboat Days is a chance to reflect on our history and what we have become as a community. In 1914 crowds might be drawn to the train station. In 2014, at Riverboat Days, we excitedly assemble at George Little Park.

Concerts in the Park, the Legion Parade, Fireworks over Ferry Island are sure to attract big crowds. But expect a big crowd too at the Skeena Mall as the FMX Motocross Madness returns to Riverboat Days after 8 long years! Huge acrobatic leaps on motor bikes with blue sky and our mountains in the background will make awesome pictures. Concerts in the Park again presents the best musicians in the northwest, with the Saturday line up voted in by fans of CFNR radio. And it is a triple feature for the headline act: Rock of Ages brings 3 top-notch tribute bands playing the music and looking the part of Heart, Led Zepellin and ZZ Top! Plus the music continues Sunday, with acclaimed singer/songwriter Mark Perry closing Concerts on Sunday.

Riverboat Days is in all meanings a community festival. It is the product of dedicated work of volunteers, individuals, non-profit organizations, the business community, First Nation and local governments organizing and sponsoring each event. Local media play a huge role in spreading the information and the enthusiasm. The Terrace Riverboat Days Society thanks them all. We also acknowledge continuing financial support to the Society from the City of Terrace, Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, BC Hydro, LNG Canada and Imperial Metals.
