It's an all-Canadian party in three simple words. The only thing missing is hockey when a Beer Bacon Bands event comes to town.
Prince George gets its first taste of the 3B festival of music and refreshment. It is a fete that's already grilled Regina, Saskatoon and Calgary to perfection over the last couple of years, and now the heat is stoked for CN Centre this February.
"Beer, bacon and music aficionados unite to sample cold brews, taste unique bacon creations and listen to awesome live music, while having fun with a couple thousand of their closest friends," said a statement issued by the Bs three organization.
The food and drink will be available in trade show style, with booths to choose from plus refreshment activity out on the floor. The music comes from DJs and live musicians cranking it out concert-style as attendees mingle, sip, guzzle, nibble and nom-nom-nom as they wish.
The Beer Bacon Bands event happens at CN Centre on Feb. 24 starting at 7 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at the venue's box office or onlive via the TicketsNorth.ca website. Admission (aged 19-plus only) is about $40 depending on local service charges, but if you purchase a four-pack of tickets on or before Nov. 6 they are $25 each (plus s/c).
