The Quay

Downtown’s waterfront, the Quay, is a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike. The Fraser River has a long history as a mighty companion to BC commerce and industry, with the role of tugboats holding a special place in New Westminster’s heart. The annual RiverFest New West is an adventure for the whole family, where you can see tugboats in action, learn about their history, and partake in other river-themed events. Next to the Quay, the River Market brings together farmers, bakers, and artisans to add a rich, cultural shopping experience to downtown New Westminster. This will also be the site of the upcoming new Bosa buildings “Pier West”
