The Prince George Rivers Day Committee is in the throes of producing the eighth annual B.C. Rivers Day Music Festival, the annual celebration of BC Rivers Day September 27-28.

The community booths and the children’s activities will incorporate historical aspects in their displays and activities. Food, family and the beautiful natural setting of Fort George Park is the site for this celebration.
On Saturday September 27, the concert at Vanier Hall will open with the Holly Arntzen & Kevin Wright and the Voices Nature with Quinson Elementary School Choir and will feature the 2007 Canadian Idol runner up JayDee Bixby.
