A Centennial Celebration is being held in Vanderhoof next year as it recognizes its 100th anniversary.
A two-day celebration is planned for Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5, 2026.
Founded in 1926, Vanderhoof went from a small railway settlement into a geographical centre within Central B.C.
The Centennial Celebration will feature:
• Live entertainment showcasing local talent and major headliners.
• Historical exhibits, Cowboy poetry and storytelling, capturing Vanderhoof’s journey over 100 years.
• Family-friendly activities including games, artisan markets, and food vendors
• Music, food and dancing, to cap off each day in true Vanderhoof style
“Vanderhoof’s 100th anniversary is more than a milestone—it’s a chance for us to come together and celebrate the people, places, and stories that make our community so special,” said Kevin Moutray, Mayor of Vanderhoof.
“We are inviting everyone, past, present and even future residents to join us for this once-in-a-lifetime event.”
