Many communities host farmers' markets May through October.

  • Check out the artwork, crafts, and soaps by local artisans.
  • Markets are located in 100 Mile House, Clinton, Lillooet, Williams Lake, Quesnel, and Bella Coola; look for them in smaller communities as well. Ask local Visitor Centres for time and location information. >

Barkerville Historic Town

Enjoy unique dining experiences and delicious meals at this restored 1860s gold-rush boomtown.
  • At Wake-Up-Jake, sit down to an authentic meal from the 1800s, served by waiters in period costume.
  • Head to Lung Duck Tong for excellent Chinese food in a beautifully restored heritage building.

First Nations

Learn about the region's Aboriginals while feasting on traditional foods.
  • Partake in a traditional First Nations feast in Xats'ull Heritage Village, located north of Williams Lake. Take the full-day tour, which includes lunch, commentary on the Xats'ull people plus an interpretation of ancient petroglyphs.
  • In Lillooet, the St'át'imc Cultural Experiences Project offers a traditional First Nations lunch combined with a cultural tour. Visit significant Aboriginal sites and learn about the local culture; lunch consists of such delicacies as smoked salmon, bannock and venison.

XH Buffalo Ranch

You're in the heart of BC's ranching country, and this buffalo ranch east of 70 Mile House along Green Lake won't disappoint.
  • Ride in an open wagon pulled by a farm tractor through the middle of the herd for an up-close look at the buffalo. Depending on the time of year, you may spot some buffalo calves.
  • Purchase various buffalo products, including organic meat, on site.

South Cariboo Garlic Festival

Take a whiff of this annual homage to garlic, which features such potent activities as peeling and eating contests. Be sure to try the many garlic-infused foods. The 2008 Garlic Festival takes place August 16–17 in 100 Mile house.
