Prince George saddling up for BCNE 2025 this weekend

Prince George is in for an eventful weekend as the British Columbia Northern Exhibition (BCNE) makes its return.

This is the 113th BCNE, and is one of the longest running fall fairs, which brings various performances, activities, and competitions.

“We are welcoming a caricaturist, so you can line up and get your silly picture done. SuperDogs are back.” said General Manager Sylvia Layzell.

“Friday and Saturday we have Saddle Up and Sort. It’s going to be an amazing event, I understand there’s a lot of competitors registered.”

Layzell added there’s kids events, along with barrel racing tomorrow (Thursday).

Gate admission pricing vary depending on age, including:

  • Kids – 0 to 11 free with an adult

  • Youth 12 to 17 $5

  • Adults 18 to 54 $10

  • Seniors 55+ $5

  • Seniors Day: August 14th – 55+ $2

“We’re just trying to make events affordable for everyone to attend. What we like is once you’re through the gate, 95 per cent of the fair is included with your gate price.”

BCNE officially starts tomorrow, and will continue through Sunday, with more information on its website here.
