In Prince George, popular community events accessed funding from the Fabulous Festivals and Events Program to make them better than ever.
Every year, Two Rivers Gallery in downtown Prince George hosts the BMO KidzArt Dayz. This year, they were able to secure an exciting guest to entertain families during the two-day event. Carolyn Holmes, managing director of Two Rivers Gallery, was incredibly excited with the success of BMO KidzArt Dayz 2016.
“With funding from Northern Development’s Fabulous Festivals program, Two Rivers Gallery was able to secure Fred Penner as our mainstage performer for BMO KidzArt Dayz and promote our event across Northern B.C. More than 10,000 people participated in the creative celebrations, doubling the attendance of previous years!”
Attendees at the 2016 BMO KidzArt Dayz got to catch renowed children’s performer Fred Penner, pictured on stage here.
Hot Day at Otway and Downtown Summerfest are two other Prince George events that accessed grant funding from the Trust.
Other kid-friendly events in the region included Masset Harbour Days, Edge of the World Music Festival and Terrace Riverboat Days.
