British Columbia Northern Exhibition bringing a new event to Prince George this weekend

The British Columbia Northern Exhibition (BCNE) will have a Renaissance Faire this weekend in Prince George.

Originally a Sunday market, the organization wanted to give it a theme, which General Manager Sylvie Lazell said exploded to a two day event.

“We have a battle arena going all weekend with people dressed up doing their battles from pool noodles, all the way up to full-body armour and swords” said Lazell.

“We’ve got a petting zoo on Saturday, and a costume contest on Sunday.”

Lazell added the event will have over 50 vendors and a line up of food trucks, with a petting zoo on Saturday and costume contest on Sunday.

Admission for the Renaissance Faire is $2, with 16 and under free, and will go from noon until 8pm on Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday at the Exhibition Place Ag Arena.

More information can be found on BCNE’s website here, or on its Facebook page.
