Saturday the 17th 2008f May, 2008 Community Events
 

Blackfalds is proud of its commitment to providing quality community services to all residents. A variety of recreation and culture programs are offered through the town or by local community groups. These programs, in combination with some first-rate facilities and big-time special events, should offer everyone a healthy dose of community spirit.

Stoking community spirit is a key mission of the Community Services Department. One method of accomplishing this mission is to hold community-wide special events. The most notable of these is Blackfalds Days, which is held the first weekend of June.

Blackfalds Days is a huge event that involves three days of activities, including a parade, soapbox derby, community dinner, cabaret, youth dance, and tons of other fun events. Canada Day, Volunteer Appreciation Week, and Senior Citizen's Week are also celebrated.
