Bob here to share a ride we did to the charming shores of Pine Falls, Manitoba for a motorcycle parade at their 4P Festival
I’m here to share some fun facts about the Festival and its spectacular parade, an event that really makes waves in the community every September!
The 4P Festival is not just any festival; it’s a vibrant celebration of the town’s heritage and the special things that make Pine Falls uniquely fabulous.
The 4P’s stand for Power, Pickerel, Peas, and Paper, each telling a story as rich as the waters I bob around in!
Power for the Pine Falls Generating Station
Pickerel for the Walleye Capital of Manitoba
Peas for the scrumptious St. George’s peas
Paper for the mill, although closed, represents their history
The 4P Festival takes place over the Labour Day long weekend, with a cozy family-reunion vibe.
With more than 20 events throughout the weekend, there is something for everyone!
Slow-Pitch Tournament
Lively Beer Garden
Chainsaw Competition
And even more… Lego sculpture competition, pancake breakfast, car show, Kids’ play zone…you name it!
We rode out to participate in the motorcycle parade to kick off the 4P Festival Parade!
It winds through the streets on Sunday at noon.
Our job was to ride our motorcycles through the parade route just before the actual parade to get everyone excited for what was to come.
And of course to have fun!
We did our job well, as the anxious parade crowd had fun getting to know me.
Then it was time for the main event!
Floats, vehicles, people and animals representing all community members!
from schools and sports to casinos, pawn shops, restaurants, and community service vehicles. The whole area was involved!
Schools
Sports
Casinos
Pawn Shops
Restaurants
Community Services
A few highlights for me…
The 4P float and costumes from the credit union
The queen and her unicorn following
And who wouldn’t get excited for the stuffed animal train!
We left shortly after the parade, so we didn’t get to enjoy the full 4P Festival, but I heard the crowd talking about a fishing tournament to close out the weekend.
It sounded like that would be a highlight for everyone.
The 4P Festival and Parade is the place to be over Labour Day Weekend!
Mark your calendars for September 2027!
