White River is bustling with excitement this weekend, as the Winnie's Hometown Festival is back.
Festival Coordinator Brandi Greenwood explains this year's 33rd annual event - which has a theme of "Winnie and the Hundred Acre Bush" - is much closer to previous years than last year's mostly virtual event.
Greenwood notes festivities start this afternoon with the Shirt Tail Parade from Blackfly Park to the Info Centre at 3:30 pm, followed by an important event: a reconciliation ceremony.
Greenwood highlights a number of events happening over the weekend, including the market and tradeshow, burnout competition, bush concern, cornhole tournament, lumberjack show, riding lawnmower races, Saturday night fireworks and drive-in double feature, and Sunday's Family Fish Derby.
