Potato Festival

Monday, September 7 - 10:30am to 4:00pm

Prepare yourself for a spud-tacular time at this annual event that celebrates our favourite vegetable - the humble potato!

Take part in one of our favourite events as we celebrate the mighty spud in all its glory! Join us for potato themed games and crafts, family friendly activities, music, and heritage demonstrations. Learn all about the heirloom potato varieties grown in our garden all summer long, and buy some garden fresh vegetables to take home!

Join us on to learn more about cheesemaking from our local cheese expert Tracey Johnson of CheeseNeeds.com, who'll be making cheese and cutting curd! Dave from SilverTree Woodworking will be on hand to demonstrate the treadle wood lathe.

Talk to our summer staff about their heritage projects - learn about crocheting lace from Mia, Edwardian hairstyles from Maeven, and quilting from Kendra!

Bring a picnic out to relax in the fresh air or order breakfast or lunch from the delicious starchy themed menu that puts the potato in the spotlight - right where it belongs! We'll have hashbrown and sweet potato pancakes available in the morning and potato bacon soup for sale in the afternoon - you can upgrade your potato chips or carrots to potato salad as well!

Finally, discover the history of the site through a guided tour, and don't forget to take advantage of our store sale, which gives you 10% off all store merchandise and candy, while members get 20% off their entire purchase!

Huble Homestead Historic Site is a 30 minute drive north of Prince George, BC. Leave the city behind and make your way up Highway 97 for 40 kilometres, before turning off on Mitchell Road to continue another 6 kilometres down a well-maintained dirt road.

Huble Homestead is dog friendly and is open from 10:00am to 5:00pm daily until September 7, and weekends from September 12 to October 11. Take a guided tour or shop in the General Store. Enjoy a picnic or purchase lunch from the BBQ as you relax in the fresh air. Admission is by donation, with a recommended amount of $10.00 per family. We're closer than you think!
