Dominion Day

Take a trip back in time and join us in celebrating July 1st the old-fashioned way!

Embrace the charm of the past with heritage demonstrations, games, and other timeless activities. Experience how Prince George would have celebrated in the past by taking part in our schedule of races and eating contests for all ages, then mark the day with the entire family by getting a slice of complimentary birthday cake to mark Canada's 158th birthday!

Our old-fashioned Dominion Day celebrations kick off with a pancake breakfast that runs from 10:00 to 12:00. Afterwards, get a hot dog or hamburger lunch from the barbeque, or bring a picnic to enjoy beside the scenic Fraser River!

If you're an animal lover, you'll love visiting with the cute farm animals from the PG Mobile Petting Zoo! Join in heritage demonstrations such as ice cream and butter making with staff, and learn the history of the site by taking a self-led tour, or joining in a guided tour with a knowledgeable staff member. Don't forget to pick up your "passport" and explore the historic site to "visit" all the provinces and territories, or grab a treasure hunt sheet instead to seek the clues for your prize!

End the day by making a festive craft in the Welcome Barn, and don't forget the General Store is open for sweet treats and locally made items!

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 open daily from 10:00am to 5:00pm for guided tours and shopping 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!

We acknowledge the financial assistance of the Province of British Columbia.
