Once the excitement of the holidays has come and gone, January says hello with cold winter nights, dumps of fresh powder, and freezing temperatures. To beat the winter blues, we’ve put together an exciting monthly event wrap up, in partnership with Tourism Prince George, to give you some ideas on how to enjoy your first month of 2020.
Champions of Magic
Prince George is the only stop in British Columbia for the five world-class illusionists who make up the Champions of Magic. Performing at the CN Centre in late January, you’ll be blown away with an array of stunning stage-filled illusions, unbelievable mind-reading, and close-up magic by some of the best performers in the world.
