Prince George community packs downtown for Summerfest

Veteran’s Plaza at Prince George City Hall was packed with people during this year’s Downtown Summerfest.

A couple hundred community members took part in various activities that were set up including a mini rail, petting zoo, games, and live music.

Downtown Prince George Executive Director Chrisie Berry said crowds started to form before the event got going.

“People started showing up even before 11am, so probably about quarter to people started showing up. Our bike valet is busy, which is great.”

The event had eight food trucks, over 31 vendors, and 17 community partners who had different activities.

Work to get Downtown Summerfest underway began as early as 7am, with Berry crediting the team helping put it together.

Downtown Summerfest continues until 4pm.
