Applications open for Alberta Culture Days

Alberta Culture Days are an annual three-day, province-wide celebration held at the end of September. This three-day gathering is a way for Albertans and travellers to celebrate and promote cultural experiences and diversity across the province. 
Travel Alberta recognizes Alberta Culture Days as an opportunity to provide visitors from across Alberta and the globe with authentic Alberta experiences, and an elevated platform to showcase Indigenous culture this year with new tours, experiences, and events.

I encourage every community and community organization to join in the celebration at the end of September, and to apply for Alberta Culture Days grant funding.”
