Downtown Summerfest set for Saturday

Downtown Prince George is bringing back a summer favourite event this weekend.

On Saturday, Downtown Prince George is hosting the annual Downtown Summerfest, bringing food, entertainment, shopping, and other activities to Veterans Plaza at City Hall.

“I think I’m most excited just to see the community come together and be downtown, and really just have a great time at this event,” said Downtown Prince George Executive Director Chrisie Berry.

An outdoor food court will feature eight food trucks with a variety of dishes.

There will also be an outdoor market with 31 local and regional artisans and entrepreneurs showcasing their goods.

17 community partners are also putting on a kids and family zone, which includes rides on the Cottonwood Express, a petting zoo, and football challenges with the Prince George Kodiaks.

That day the Royal Canadian Legion is also putting on a pancake breakfast from 8:00 am to 11:00 am.

Downtown Prince George’s Event Bike Valet program will also be available during Downtown Summerfest.

“If people would like to ride their bikes, they can check them in and store them securely for free, and then pick them up when they’re all finished,” Berry said.

A full list of vendors, food options, and entertainment can be found here.
