Homestead Days
Sunday, August 6 & Monday, August 7 - 10:30am to 4:00pm
Our premier event that's two days of old-fashioned fun!
Join us this BC Day long weekend at Huble Homestead, when we celebrate Homestead Days, our oldest running event! We invite you to step back in time to have fun the old-fashioned way by coming out to enjoy heritage demonstrations such as ice cream and butter making on both Sunday and Monday! Be sure to chat with our staff about their season-long heritage projects - on Sunday, Lydia will be making cheese, and Shannon will be demonstrating needlepoint, and on the Monday learn about natural dyes from Sylvie and lace making from Mary! Wander over to the blacksmith shop to chat with Dawson of Brandt Blacksmithing - he'll have the shop running both Sunday and Monday!
On Sunday, we'll also have Heimdall's Reach out to chat about Icelandic wool, and on the Monday learn about the pole-lathe from Dave of SilverTree Woodworking. If you didn't get your cheese fix from Lydia on the Sunday, resident expert Tracey Johnson of Cheeseneeds.com will be set up making cheese as well! Finally, if you're interested in blackpowder shooting, be sure to mark the Monday on your calendar! We are dog friendly, but we recommend leaving the dogs at home on Monday, as this demonstration can get quite loud.
Bring a lunch, or bid on the homemade lunches in the Box Lunch Social – don’t worry, the BBQ will also be running if you get outbid! Then kick back and relax to the musical stylings of Genevieve Jaide at 12:00 PM and 1:30 PM on both days.
Take part in games and races for different age groups, and cheer on the brave souls willing to participate in the eating contests! This weekend is all about doing things the old-fashioned way, so everyone can join in the races, which will have different categories for adults and children! For those who prefer to work at a different pace, a self-guided activity will be available. Old-fashioned games will also be taking place in the morning and late afternoon of both days.
Visitors can take 10% off knitted and crocheted items in the General Store all weekend long.
