It’s almost time to celebrate Canada’s birthday!
Get ready to wear some red and white because there’s a lot going on!
Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park
One of the best things to do for Canada Day in Prince George is, of course, to head down to Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park for all of the festivities.
The Celebrate Canada Day Festival is organized every year by the Multicultural Heritage Society of Prince George, giving you the chance to see cultural performances and taste of dishes from around the world at the international food fair!
Activities run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and include live entertainment at the Kiwanis Bowl starting with a Canada Day drumming celebration followed by the opening ceremonies at Noon.
There’s also going to be the craft fair near the Bandshell in the park and a variety of crafts and activities at the kids’ activity centre located at the Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park Pavilion.
Fireworks
The night will end with Fireworks of course!
The Canfor Canada Day fireworks start at 11 p.m. at Canada Games Plaza downtown.
You’ll be able to watch bursts of bright colour rise from the top of Connaught Hill.
Also, be mindful that Connaught Hill will be closed on July 1, so staff can prepare for the fireworks!
And if you need to catch the bus or don’t want to fight for a parking spot down at the park fares will only be $1 on all routes during Canada Day.
But wait, there’s more!
Huble Homestead
Huble Homestead is celebrating Canada’s birthday the old fashioned way.
The Historic Site is celebrating from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. allowing everyone to enjoy heritage demonstrations like ice cream and butter making, pioneer contest and games, free cake, entertainment, and you can even bring your dog!
Barkerville
And if you love old-fashioned celebrations and want to do a road-trip to you can celebrate Dominion Day at Barkerville Historic Town and Park.
Did you know? Canada’s very first Dominion Day celebration was held in Barkerville as a fervent display of support for Canadian confederation three years before British Columbia joined in 1871.
And they are still celebrating!
You can join in on a tug of war, funny face contest, greasy pole climb, egg toss, races and lots more.
Scotiabank also sponsors a giant cake, and the House Hotel hosts an evening of entertainment, dancing and refreshments!
