Step back in time to the historic site’s premier old-fashioned event!
Take a trip to the past on the BC Day long weekend for Huble Homestead’s oldest running event. This two-day extravaganza is all about celebrating life on the homestead over a hundred years ago by taking in the sights, sounds, and activities of a bygone era.
Join in for some wholesome fun by taking part in the old-fashioned games and races, put your eating skills to the test in the eating contests, and learn heritage skills through demonstrations. Make ice cream and butter with our staff both days, learn about cheesemaking and see the the pole lathe at work. Our staff will have their season-long heritage projects ready to present: enjoy a sweet treat with Allie as she pulls taffy, learn about the fine art of lace making with Mia, let Maeven walk you through style history with a session on Edwardian hairstyling, and learn about the art and techniques involved in quilting with Kendra!
On the holiday Monday, watch the blackpowder shooters aim and fire at targets in the back field – this is definitely the day to leave the dog at home.
Bring a lunch or make a bid in the box lunch social auction, an old-fashioned tradition that continues at the homestead today – win a lunch for one, two, or four that’s been prepared by our staff. The BBQ will also be running if you’re outbid, or just craving a hamburger! Afterwards, kick back and relax to some live music!
