The annual festival will be set up at Veterans Plaza in front of City Hall, featuring an outdoor food court, face painting, vendors, and a petting zoo.

Huble Homestead Kids’ Carnival – Saturday 10:30 – 4:00
It is one of Huble Homestead’s largest events of the year, including hourly magic shows, carnival games, a clown, and multiple community groups with booths for crafts and activities set up.
The event is by donation (recommended at $10 per family) plus 50 cents per carnival game ticket.
PG Kodiaks Home & Season Opener – Saturday 6:00
Through two seasons in the BC Football Conference, Prince George has established itself as one of the most rabid fanbases.
Those fans will return to Masich Place Stadium tomorrow when the Kodiaks play the Vancouver Island Raiders to open the 2024 season.

Impressions Custom Auto is holding a charity show in the CN Centre parking lot.
The show will raise money for a local Parkinson’s Volunteer Group, and is open to anyone in the public who would like to show off a vehicle.
It begins at noon.
