The BC Gourmet Arts Festival kicks off this weekend

PRINCE GEORGE – If you’re someone who LOVES food, live music, and arts and crafts, then this weekend is tailored to you. This weekend PG will play host to the BC Gourmet Arts Festival, the first of its kind here in the North.

Hosted by the Community Arts Council of Prince George & District it’s going to highlight BC’s top local food producers, artists, and local hospitality personalities with several events occurring over the weekend.

“For years and years, decades we had an event called spring arts bazaar and the great northern chili cook-off, well that got canceled over the pandemic” explained Eli Klasner, who is the Executive Director, Community Arts Council of Prince George “We used to have it on the front yard of Studio 2880 but, we felt it was growing every year. So, this year, after we had a very successful Studio fair here at CN Centre, we just decided to go for broke and do a whole big three-day event.”
