Riverboat Days is a community festival organized to showcase the history, culture, and beautiful natural setting of Terrace and the surrounding region.

The festival, now over thirty years old, was once only held on the August, BC Day long weekend. In 2004, the festival's program was extended to a full week. Prior to COVID-19 limiting public gatherings, the 2019 program offered nearly 50 events over 10 days.

The Riverboat Days program is wide-ranging, including sports events, music, theatre, historical tours, and visual art displays. Longstanding crowd-gatherers include the Legion Parade, Fireworks over Ferry Island, Beach Blast Volleyball, and Concerts in the Park. The concerts feature the best music from around the northwest and are held outdoors at Centre Stage, George Little Park.

There is a strong emphasis on affordable family entertainment. While every effort is made to gather people outside to enjoy the summer, the program is structured to contain an array of both outdoor and indoor activities and events.
