Best Family Friendly Summer Events in Prince George, BC 2024

Jun 19, 2024by Bailey Bouwman

Whether you are new in town, stopping through on a visit, or maybe just new to family events - Prince George, BC, is buzzing with excitement this summer! One of my favourite things about motherhood is attending community events with my kids. Many events take on a whole new level of excitement as you participate with your children in art, rides, and more.

From vibrant art displays to festive markets and family-friendly carnivals, there's something for everyone. You'll want to remember a pair of sunglasses, and probably a good summer hat, both of which we can help you with as your local children's boutique.

Let's dive into the must-attend events and activities that will make your summer unforgettable. Find our OG post on Instagram.
