Starting Seafest off with a bang is the Spectakular Kids Show! We are welcoming two incredible performers Major Conrad Flapps and Mat Duffus. The Lester Centre of the Arts will be the place to be on Thursday June 10th at 6:30p.m for good family fun!

The theme for this year's 32nd annual parade is “Happy 100th Birthday Prince Rupert!” where we're saluting a century in style. The parade route is literally a sea of people with the show of community pride not to be missed. And you will want to catch the entertainment on the weekend, as this year we are pleased to have music from the teens Blockstock, the Seafest Gardens and Dance, also the Tribute to Fleetwood Mac, and the Battle of the Bands. What a terrific weekend of musical talent!

Seafest will host Thursday Spectacular Kidz Show at the Lester Centre as Major Conrad Flapps, the world's only human airplane, jets in for a night of total laughter. Also Mat Duffus will be back to get the children singing, blowing kazoos and joining in with his zany sing-along antics.

The kids have fun and the adults have a few good laughs as the entertainers provide extraordinarily hilarious performances! Bring the whole family down to the Lester Centre and enjoy quality entertainment. See you at the Spectakular Kidz Show June 10th at 6:30p.m.!
