N.B. street festival back for another year
The annual North Battleford International Street Performer Festival will be returning to the downtown area this summer for its fourth year.
Volunteer chair Kent Lindgren said he is thrilled to see the festival’s growth.
Last year, the festival, which includes performers from all over the world, attracted roughly 4,000 people to the community and received a provincial award for best community event. Some performers came from as far as Australia, Europe, the U.S., and from across Canada. Performances included a range of activities from comedians and magicians to ballerinas.
“It’s really exciting to see how many people can come together over a weekend and just really bring the downtown to life,” Lindgren said.
