Grande Prairie to host Heritage Day celebration

The City of Grande Prairie is set to host its annual Heritage Day celebration at the beginning of August. Mayor Jackie Clayton says the August 2nd event will be held at the Grande Prairie Museum and Heritage Village, where the community’s architectural and historical heritage lives.

“Heritage Day is a meaningful opportunity to honour the traditions, stories and histories that have shaped Grande Prairie over time. I invite everyone to take part in the festivities, connect with each another and celebrate the rich heritage that defines our community,” she adds.

In addition to Heritage Day staples like old-fashioned carnival games, HAM radio demonstrations, and live accoustic music, the Grande Prairie Intercultural Association Bites Around the World event and the Hindu Chariot Festival will also be taking place in Muskoseepi Park as part of the day of activities.

Heritage Day events will be held from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on August 2nd. You can learn more about the day, and find a full listing of events on the City of Grande Prairie website.
