Lytton Festival Honors Chinese Heritage | Vancouver News

This weekend, Lytton’s historic river festival returns with a powerful twist—deeply honoring its Chinese Canadian roots. After wildfires devastated local businesses last summer, the community is rallying around culture, resilience, and history. The festival kicks off with pancakes and music, but this year’s heart lies in hands-on experiences: gold panning, calligraphy, crafts, and tours led by local experts. The reborn Lytton Chinese History Museum—destroyed in 2021—is front and center, sharing stories of immigrant families like the Chong dynasty who built thriving businesses for over a century. It’s a free, family-friendly celebration that turns pain into pride, proving Lytton isn’t just rebuilding—it’s reimagining its future through its past.
