Blackfalds Days 2017: “Celebrating Canada 150”

Jun 16, 2017 | 3:26 PM

Join us in celebrating a fun-filled weekend of community events in Blackfalds from June 16 to 18 for Blackfalds Days 2017!

This year’s theme: “Celebrating Canada 150” celebrates the patriotism and pride we all feel in our country, and the privilege of living and growing in this great free nation.

Beginning with the grand opening of the Optimists All Wheels Park (4503 Womacks Road) on Friday at 5:30 p.m., everyone is invited to join the Optimists Club of Blackfalds as they officially open the park, along with BBQ by $5 donation and pro skater/scooter demonstrations.

Returning this year are many of the fan favourite activities from previous years including the Family Street Dance, Town Councillors’ Pancake Breakfast, Family Amazing Race, and the Block Party in the Park. And don’t forget to stick around Saturday evening to celebrate the 12th anniversary of our Blackfalds Pyro Crew with a fantastic fireworks show at dusk (best viewed from All-Star Park).
