All and Around September 16th to 18th
Welcome back to our ultimate updates on events around all four Pajo’s locations; the Wharf, Garry Point, Rocky Point and Gates Park. If you are looking for something fun to do while enjoying our fish and chips this coming weekend, here’s the right place to find it.
Let’s have a look at what will be happening and don’t forget to pray for the Rain God to give us some more sun shine over a couple of days to come.
Steveston–the Wharf and Garry Point Park
Steveston Grand Prix of Art
On Saturday the 17th, Phoenix Art Workshop presents the Steveston’s 2nd Annual Grand Prix of Art where artists from around the province are invited to participate in a day of Plein Air painting in Steveston. Participating Artists will be allocated a location in Steveston where they will have 3 hours to complete a work of art, before returning them to the shipyards for display. The works will be adjudicated, selecting a Runner-up and the Grand prize winner. The painting race starts at 10am and the art works will be on display between 2-4pm in the Chinese Bunk House at Britannia Heritage Shipyards. Art lovers, family and friends are welcome to join in and around Steveston to watch art in action. Visit www.gradnprixofart.com to learn more.
Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market
On Sunday, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery will be holding Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market as usual. It’s that time of the year again
when the summer market is coming to an end. But don’t be sad just yet, this year an indoor winter market will be running throughout the coming months. So here, you can come and meet the farmers and the crafters. Take a quick tour around to see what the market has to offer and ultimately it’s time to support the locals.

Terry Fox Run
On Sunday the 18th, it’s time for Terry Fox run at Garry Point Park in Steveston. This 10km, 5km or 1km marathon for cancer research event includes a family route and is suitable for bikes and wheelchairs/strollers, but not for rollerblades (it’s the dyke, after all). Dogs on leash are welcome. Registration starts at 9am and run starts from 10am to 12pm. Interested in joining? Click HERE.
Port Moody–Rocky Point Park
If anyone of you is planning on a quality picnic with your group of friends or family, Rocky Point Park will be a perfect spot for you
this weekend. You can stroll along the beach, dance with the geese or see the beautiful sun set over Burrard inlet. And maybe get a delish Pajo’s fish and chips meal to tame your hunger down too! Wonder where it is? Click here to see more.
Port Coquitlam—Gates Park
If you are looking for some quiet and quality time to spend with your favorite baseball bat or tennis racquet, come to Gates Park this weekend with your friends and family and enjoy the rest of the day together. If it’s nice out, you will not be disappointed at all!
Now that you have a better idea on how to plan a perfect weekend get-away. Just wait till Friday is over and you’ll have time to join these cool events! Oh and don’t forget to give us a shout at our stand so we can fill you up with our Fish and Chips for the rest of the day.
Our story begins in 1985, where founder Patricia Branch and then business partner Joan concocted the idea behind Pajo's - a stand in Steveston's Wharf serving the finest fish and chips in the West.
