There’s something for everyone!

The Alberta Day weekend will be packed with activities and entertainment, including a made-in-Alberta marketplace, live performances from local artists, activities for kids of all ages, and a beer garden.

Alberta Day is described as a celebration of everything Alberta, from the past to the present. If you can’t get out to an event, you’re encouraged to celebrate in your own way:

• Visit a provincial historic site or museum to learn about Alberta’s history
• Go to a provincial park to get outdoors and appreciate Alberta’s beautiful landscapes
• Attend Alberta Culture Days or Alberta Month of the Artist events
• Host a block party for your friends, family and neighbours

Alberta became a province on September 1, 1905. In recognition of this anniversary and in celebration of the province’s unique spirit, culture and heritage, the government has designated September 1 as Alberta Day.
