The County of Grande Prairie’s party planners have been hard at work, announcing that the 2024 Alberta Day Festival will take place on September 1st.
The event will occur at the Bezanson Community Event Centre and is open to all County and City residents.
The festival boasts several attractions for attendees, including food trucks, complimentary carnival games, bouncy houses, and face-painting stations. In the spirit of celebrating Alberta on a local level, a number of historical organizations have been called upon to provide attendees with educational opportunities to showcase the province’s history and culture.
County Reeve Bob Marshall says his government is “thrilled” to celebrate Alberta Day locally, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing Alberta’s rich and diverse history.
“The festival provides a wonderful opportunity for residents of all ages to come together and honour Alberta’s rich history, heritage, and culture,” he says.
Local vendors will also be in attendance for festival goers to shop for Alberta-made products at the Alberta Market, and the main stage will host several speeches from local leaders, and performances throughout the afternoon.
The festival is scheduled for September 1st, between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at the Bezanson Community Event Centre.
