From July 1 to 3, the Rio Grande Rodeo brings three days of high-energy competition, local tradition, and that unmistakable summer atmosphere where everything feels a little louder, a little closer, and a lot more alive.
It’s the sound of hooves hitting the arena floor, the pause before a ride begins, and the rush that follows when the gates open. It’s community gathered around shared excitement, stories being made in real time, and a celebration of a way of life that runs deep in the region. 🤠

June weekends have a way of pulling you in. ☀️
One road leads to live music drifting through a small-town main street. Another takes you to the roar of engines and the excitement of race day. Around the next bend, you`ll find local markets, community celebrations, and stories shared through culture, tradition, and connection.
The best part? You don`t have to choose just one.
Whether it`s the Beaverlodge Art Walk, Hythe`s Kick Off to Summer, Chautauqua Days in Sexsmith, the South Peace Market Show and Shine, or the Indigenous Celebration presented by Ovintiv at Evergreen Park, there is no shortage of ways to experience summer across the region.

POV: You came for a quick stop and somehow stayed until midnight. 🌙
The sound of live music drifts down Main Street. Kids are busy creating memories in the Kid Zone. Local makers line the sidewalks. Food truck aromas fill the air. One band finishes, another starts, and suddenly the day turns into a summer night you didn`t plan on leaving.
That`s the magic of festival season in the Grande Prairie Region.
Experience the Beaverlodge Art Walk on June 5 and discover the people, creativity, and community that make summer here feel so alive.

World Bee Day highlights how closely our food systems depend on pollinators. In Northwestern Alberta, that connection has a strong local impact, where rural landscapes play a meaningful role in global food security, one hive at a time. 🐝
Located in Beaverlodge, The National Bee Diagnostic Centre is Canada’s only dedicated bee health lab. Beekeepers from across the country send hive samples here to identify issues like mites, disease, and colony stress, supporting pollination on a national scale.
In a region shaped by agriculture, this work reflects the intersection of farming, applied research, and rural innovation.
From applied research to wide-open landscapes, the region rewards the curious. Visit gptourism.ca 🌻
