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 chat with our summer staff as they present the heritage projects they’ll have been working on all season. On the holiday Monday, watch the blackpowder shooters aim and fire at targets in the back field.
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. Learn the history of the site through guided tours, test your Huble knowledge by taking part in the treasure hunt, play a round of tetherball or bocce in the wide open spaces, and create some lasting memories as you connect with history!
