The annual event takes place on Friday, Nov. 25 and will see a celebration of downtown businesses.
Plaid Friday is a fun way to encourage Prince George residents and visitors to spend their dollars at our many fabulous downtown businesses, to have some fun wearing plaid and to kick off the holiday shopping and celebrating season.
Plaid represents the weaving of the individual threads of small businesses together to create a strong fabric that celebrates the diversity and creativity of independent businesses.
Everyone will be encouraged to wear Plaid and visit the over 80 shops and special services, 34 cafes and restaurants that make up downtown Prince George.
So, what exactly is happening on Plaid Friday?
