Red Deer, AB – The Westerner Days Fair & Exposition, running July 20-24, 2022, is a time for Central Albertans to come together and celebrate, not just at Westerner Park, but across the Red Deer community.

The traditional kick-off to Westerner Days is the parade in downtown Red Deer, but with only 35 days until July 20th, parade entries are needed immediately. We are encouraging local organizations to get engaged and reconnect through Westerner Days by participating in the parade, as we are at a point where the current low number of entries could result in the cancellation of the parade. Organizations can also be involved by hosting an event, such as a pancake breakfast or barbeque, or by participating in the 19th Street Market & Tradeshow.  

Visit http://www.westernerdays.ca/ for applications and details.
