Top 5 Things To do This Summer

Get wild at the Teepee Creek Stampede

Taking place July 14-17, the Stampede brings music, races, rodeo, and good old grit to the Lyons Events Centre, northeast of Grande Prairie. Dust off your boots and dig out the Wranglers – it’s fun for the whole family!

Enjoy the music of the Bear Creek Folk Festival

There are few things better than drinking a cold craft beer while listening to excellent music in the sunshine. Tap into the true summer spirit at this year’s Folk Festival, happening August 12-14 in Muskoseepi Park.

Get your fill of fruit at the Broken Tine Orchard U-Pick

Head to this 4th-generation family orchard southwest of Beaverlodge and load up on fresh haskap berries to bring home. While you’re there, snag a bottle of haskap wine or frozen fruit pops (or both!).

Sleep under the stars at a local campsite

Sometimes the simplest places can be exactly what we need. Visit one of our many local campsites to breathe the fresh air, relax through a long summer evening, and watch the stars and aurora borealis come out.

Stay active with a Passport to the Peaks

Feeling the urge to leave the city behind? You can make your way to the top of 21 of Grande Cache’s notable mountain peaks, where unique “summit stamps” are waiting for you. It takes summer to whole new heights.
