Full day of fun for all comes Saturday with 28th Annual Children's Festival

As we put February behind us, the weekend will bring an opportunity for day of family fun at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre with the arrival of the Children's Festival, this year marking the 28th year that the Special Events Society has put on the festival.

The event which starts at 11 AM Saturday and continues until 4 PM offers a range of activities for the whole family with Arts and Crafts and Games for all ages. The Bouncy Castle will be back and no doubt will be a popular spot, while the City's Rock Climbing Wall will be available for those that wish to get some elevation on the day's events.

A featured attraction this year is Fizzical Fizzicks, which is an interactive show that showcases the science of motion, with a show time from 1 to 2 PM.

Also taking part in this years Festival is the Charles Hays Secondary School Band which will be performing from 11:15 AM to 12:15 PM, while the Fellowship Baptist Choir will perform at 2:30 PM.

The Jim Cicconne Civic Centre in Prince Rupert is the destination for fun
this Saturday for the 28th Annual Children's Festival

The Children's Festival like all of the events that are put on by the Special Events Society runs on the spirit of volunteers and this year the Society could use a few extra hands for the day long event.

They need some help for set up on Friday, as well as for the event itself all day Saturday and when it comes time to take it all down for another year.

For students at CHSS the Children's Event offers a chance fulfill some of the 10 hours of volunteer time that is required for bursary time, perhaps almost all of them from this one event.

If anyone wants to help out, student or not, you can contact the Special Events Society at 250-624-9118 or by email at prspecialevents@citywest.ca

Explore more of what's ahead for Saturday from the Special Events website or Facebook page.
