CARIBOO— Barkerville Historic Town & Park has announced the return of their Olde-Fashioned Christmas event. Taking place from December 14 to 15 the historic site promises a weekend of festive cheer and delightful experiences for everyone.
“We’re excited to bring back Olde-Fashioned Christmas,” says Carrie Chard, Barkerville’sGeneral Manager. “This event returned last year and has been a favourite among our guests. After the challenges posed by the Antler Creek Wildfire this summer, we were uncertain whether we could host it again this year, but thanks to a generous donation from Osisko Mining Development, the event will be bright and lively.”
Get your Christmas shopping done as you browse a variety of unique gifts, handcrafted items, and seasonal treats at Barkerville’s old fashioned business including, McPherson’s Jewellers, Mason & Daly, and C. Strouss. Live programming will occur throughout the weekend with caroling on Main Street, photographs with Santa, and horse-drawn sleigh rides available for booking. The Cariboo Sentinel press will be running and their blacksmith’s forge will be blazing.
Admission is 12 dollars for adults, 10 dollars for seniors. Children and youth get in for free with the donation of a non-perishable food item to the Wells Food Hamper. 2025 season passes will be available online starting December 1. Early bird rate is 20% off until January 15.
