A Saturday evening event at the Wheelhouse Brewing Company brings the Festival to an end with an Open Mic Night set for the popular Cow Bay Area beverage house.

For the weekend entertainment Angela Roy and Barefoot Caravan will be on hand to compliment the fine fare of French Canadian food and treats that will be available.

The annual Prince Rupert event received a shout out from North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice last week, as she saluted the organizers for the efforts required to put on the North Coast Tradition.
