At the end of August, the city is set to host its signature event in City Centre.
The fourth annual Experience Grande Prairie event will be held on August 29th and is set to include live music, local food vendors, family activities, and community showcases.
Mayor Jackie Clayton says the event is meant to celebrate who Grande Prairie is as a community.
“It’s the kind of night that fills our streets with laughter, music and connection, and leaves you feeling proud to be part of this city. Showcasing incredible Canadian talent makes it even more memorable and helps define Grande Prairie and the community we are building together,” Clayton says.
The event will run from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. downtown at 101st Avenue and 101st Street. It includes a wide variety of activities and entertainment, including face painting, balloon animals, oversized lawn games and various food vendors. There will also be community booths, which the city is inviting community groups and organizations to take part in.
The rock group the Trews will headline the event, with other musical acts including the Markevich Youth Band, McKindred, Hey! Driver and Brasstactics.
