The Farmers' Market is one of Terrace’s local favorite things to do. Every year people get excited to see what’s new, listen to some live music, now and then, and eat the amazing food. Local artists see the Farmers' Market as a great opportunity to show off what they can do; sometimes they work on a carving perhaps while people look at their work, it’s really fascinating to watch. They have everything from Filipino Foods, to Kettle Corn, to local vegetables. There is even homemade fudge sold! It is a great family event to check out, maybe go for a horse-pulled carriage ride with the kids? It is open from the first Saturday in May, until the last Saturday in October, 8am-1pm. If you’re ever in town on a Saturday during this time, feel free to head down to Spirit Square and enjoy yourself.

Terrace, Aboriginal Experiences

Canyon City, or Gitwinksihlkw, is one of the Nass Valley villages. It is home to a 400 year old suspension bridge. Up until 17 years ago this bridge was the only way in and out of the city. The bridge is just over a metre wide; therefore the only access was by foot. That meant the people living within the city would have had to carry anything they had across, meaning groceries, furniture, and any other necessities they had needed. The bridge is now restored, so if you have the time, feel free to check it out, along with the beautiful view of the river it comes with, and the 25 foot totem poles inside the city.
