After a 16 year hiatus, the Children’s Festival has returned.
After partnering with the city, the festival follows a successful Canada Day event this past summer, and has a history in the community going back decades.
The Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park event intends to rejuvenate a focus on analogue person-to-person activities that children can engage in without advanced technology — for example, participatory dance, art, and skill development.
The festival takes place Saturday, May 31st, but plans are underway for a 2026 event, to be held on a school day. It is being organized by The Prince George Multicultural Heritage Society.
