N.B. Street Fest to feature hip-hop talent as part of show
The North Battleford International Street Performer Festival will see a few changes this year, including new talent.
Now in its fifth year, the street festival will be held on 101 Street, from 11th to 12th Avenues, and will run Friday, July 27 and Saturday, July 28, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both days.
Festival co-chair Kali Weber said organizers opted to change the event to two days instead of three this year. Previously the festival also ran on Sunday.
“We decided to change it because Sunday was always our least attended day. So we decided to extend our hours on Friday,” she said. “We usually started at 4 p.m. on Friday; this year we’re starting at 11 a.m. So we’re just putting those five hours elsewhere, and seeing if that works better.”
