The Telkwa BBQ is returning for it’s 113th year over the Labour Day long weekend.
Several events are returning including the Saturday outdoor concert featuring Liam and the Telkwa Playboys and the Blackwater Band.
“From what I understand, it started as a fall harvest back in the day and just wanted to feed the community of Telkwa,” said Spokesperson Lonny Wiebe.
Also returning is the softball tournament from Friday to Monday alongside the BBQ.
“We also have a Telkwa BBQ market that will be happening on the Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,” Wiebe said.
He also recommends bringing sunscreen and a chair for the outdoor concert.
In 2023, the Kinsmen announced the annual Demolition Derby that ran at the BBQ was cancelled.
“We’ve been looking to either bring it back in some capacity or find something else to do in that space,” said Wiebe.
“Whether it be an ATV mud pit or what we’ve seen in other communities is lawnmower races.”
The event runs from August 29th to September 1st.
