“CityFest is about celebrating the spirit of civic engagement and responsiveness of local government in Prince George, the people, services, and pride that make this community so special.” said Mayor Simon Yu.

“Whether you want to learn more about how the City works or simply have fun with your family, CityFest is a great way to connect, share ideas, and enjoy an afternoon together.”

This coincides with Local Government Awareness Week (May 11th-17th), and Asset Management Day (May14th), making the event a good time to spotlight work being done at the municipal level.

The event will be on May 21st, from 3pm until 7pm, and is free for all ages with no registration.
