Quesnel’s free family festival celebrating our Gold Rush heritage is in full swing, as the 45th Annual Billy Barker Days Festival began Thursday (July 18).
The four-day festival features live entertainment in LeBourdais Park, the Gold Dust Mall on Reid Street, midway rides, laser shows, a Crash to Pass, stock car racing, a parade and much, much more.
Friday is Kids’ Day in the Park, and there will be crafts, games and stage entertainment for children from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Friday is also the beginning of our 54th Annual Quesnel Rodeo, which takes place all weekend at Alex Fraser Park.
