Morinville came alive with music, culture, and creativity on Sunday, Sept. 22, as the community gathered in Lions Park to celebrate Alberta Culture Days. The event, held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., coincided with the first day of fall; however, above-average temperature made for a good environment to enjoy the performances.
Alberta Culture Days, a province-wide celebration of arts, heritage, and community spirit, offers Albertans the chance to engage in various cultural activities. Morinville’s celebration featured performances by local talents, including Avery Thompson, Kaleb and Amy Imgrund-Harvey, the Kicking Horse Singers from Alexander First Nation, Kolby Roy, and Drew Kolotyluk.
Alongside the live entertainment, both the Morinville Art Club and the Morinville Community Library set up booths offering craft activities, all themed around bees.
Below are some photos from the event.
