British Columbia’s Fall Fairs: The best Way to End Summer and Bring in Fall
This year Shooting Star Amusements will be bringing our midway carnival to not one, but two fun Fall Fairs…Hope Brigade Days and Rock Creek Fall Fair.
With the unfortunate news of Hope having a historically bad year for wildfires in 2018, we hope we can offer some much needed relief in the way of fun rides and carnival spirit (if only for a few days).
It’s Hope Brigade Days 50th annual celebration!
Since 1968, the people of Hope have celebrated their heritage and the Brigade Days celebration is one of the highlights of the year.
This year is no different and certainly not to be missed with the huge lineup of events stretching from Friday September 7th to Sunday September 9th.
We know some kids haven’t been able to go back to school due to the wildfires, this will be the perfect escape for them and you because this Fall fair is suitable for the whole family.
They’ll get to to enjoy Skate & Play activity night, story time at the Fair and Midway Rides and Games.
