Kids of all ages who would like to embrace their inner caveman, or dress like their favourite dinoasur, are invited to take part in this year’s DinoFest parades.
On Friday, June 13 at 5 p.m. and Saturday, June 14 at 9 a.m., DinoFest will be holding their DinoFest parades.
“There’s a ton of kids that took part last year - it was fantastic,” said Mike Dooley, Vice President of the Drumheller Festival Society.
Dooley said DinoFest has planned a fun-filled free weekend for everyone, and encourages residents to come down to DinoFest under the World’s Largest Dinosaur and check it out.
“We’re going to have a really cool activation from PGA Alberta, and there’s going to be a golf zone at DinoFest,” said Dooley.
The golf zone opens at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning.
Dooley describes the zone as “everything golf”, with an opportunity to try out clubs, a shot to hit some balls, and a chance to try out putting.
Encana’s KidsZone is back this year, and Dooley said it includes a 25 foot inflatable slide and a Jurassic Park themed bouncy castle.
The Encana KidsZone is open all weekend beginning 5 p.m. Friday.
DinoFest is holding a free pancake breakfast both Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., also under the World’s Largest Dinosaur.
Taste of the Valley, a chance to sample some of the top restaurants in Drumheller, will be at DinoFest again this year.
Festival goers buy tickets to sample the food, so are able to spend as little or as much as they like.
Taste of the Valley runs 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, and from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sunday.
Burn off those food calories at the DinoFest Triathalon Saturday, starting at 9:00 a.m., or Sunday’s free family fun run, also starting at 9:00 a.m.
Mainstage entertainment and evening movies on the big screen are also back this year.
A full schedule of DinoFest events for June 13 to 15 is available on the website at www.drumhellerdinofest.com.
