Murals, Markets & More
Grand Forks is the largest community in Boundary Country, offering a mix of cultural experiences, outdoor access and small-town charm. Framed by two rivers and connected by historic trails, itโs where heritage meets creativity in the heart of the region.
From outdoor markets and riverside trails to live music, murals and local museums, Grand Forks is where culture and nature connect. Spend the day biking the rail trail, sampling regional food or paddling in the sun. With deep-rooted history and welcoming energy, itโs the perfect place to start or end any Boundary adventure.
Take a Walking Tour of our Murals
When wandering through downtown Grand Forks, youโre sure to notice the abundance of murals that decorate the building walls. A Victoria artist known simply as โArcherโ has made numerous businesses his canvas and brought the townโs spirit to life. The murals encompass a number of themes, some representing the cityโs heritage or the businesses they decorate, and some which simply try to jog the imagination. Mural location maps are available at the visitor centre located at the Art Gallery.
