Families in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, can enjoy a day of free activities and entertainment as the 33rd Annual Children’s Festival takes place on March 7, 2026. The event runs from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre, offering a dedicated space for local children to play and participate in community festivities.
This annual celebration is organized by the Prince Rupert Special Events Society, a non-profit group that has been running major community events since 1992. While admission to the festival is free for everyone, the organizers welcome donations to help cover the costs of the activities and keep the tradition going.
The society is also looking for volunteers to help run the festival on Saturday. Local residents are encouraged to help out with various tasks to ensure the games and entertainment run smoothly for the families in attendance.
The Jim Ciccone Civic Centre, which is a central facility for the City of Prince Rupert, provides the indoor space for the festival. The building has served as the main host for the event and as the administrative home for the organizers for many years.
