Red Deer's Culture Days events engage visitors and residents alike with an eclectic mix of arts, culture, and creativity!
Red Deer's Alberta Culture Days 2022 will be held throughout the month of September! Check out the date blocks below for all the events, which are free and family-friendly!
Alberta Culture Days began in 2008 as Alberta Arts Day, a one-day event to recognize the value of Alberta's arts and cultural communities. There were 100 events held in 30 communities across the province, and a flagship celebration at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary.
Since then, it has expanded into a vibrant, province-wide celebration that has helped inspire the creation of Culture Days - a pan-Canadian movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities.
