Downtown Prince George to bring community together for Winterfest this weekend

Prince George is just a day away from Winterfest, taking place at the Civic Centre and Plaza.

This year’s festival will include over 30 vendors, live music, free skate rentals for outdoor skating, mini rail and more.

Downtown Prince George Executive Director Chrisie Berry said this year’s event lines up perfectly to tie in Valentine’s Day.

“We traditionally have it on the Family Day long weekend, because it’s just a nice family friendly event for everyone to attend.”

“With Valentine’s Day also being on the Saturday this year, it just felt like an extra opportunity to include potentially another part of the community.”

Berry added the festival will be a day long event, with the Downtown Markets starting at 8:30, the library will still have its story time and free hot chocolate, with a few things happening at the Art Gallery.

Winterfest takes place on Saturday, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and more information can be found here.
