The annual Humboldt parade kicked off Sizzler Saturday, that just got the ball rolling on a busy 12 hours.

The midway opens for the day at 12pm, it will run until 11pm.

The Safe Communities Humboldt and Area bike rodeo in the curling rink also starts at noon, it goes until 3pm.

Comic Con is new this year to the Sizzler, that happens in the Elgar Petersen Arena, from noon to 6 o'clock.

Another first on it's way is a provincial strongman competition. It will be held on 5th Avenue south of the Uniplex. It is slated to begin at 1pm.

These events are all free, outside of the midway rides but daily passes are available.

The JCI demo derby revs up at 4pm, this is the 45th year of the award winning event, $15 is the admission for adults. The proceeds stay right here in the city however, all through the Junior Chamber's great work.

The baseball diamonds are busy around the Uniplex as well with numerous playoff games all day.
