The Town of Okotoks is recognizing Alberta Day with a free event at Ethel Tucker Centennial Park on Friday.
The second annual Alberta Day takes place on Sept. 1, and Okotokians are invited to celebrate with games, food and made-in-Alberta movies.
“Bring a chair, bring a blanket and come join us,” said Connie Drake, events specialist with the Town of Okotoks.
The event begins at 4 p.m. with food trucks and lawn games, followed by movies starting at 6 p.m.
Jumanji: The Next Level is up first, followed by the family road-trip comedy RV. Parts of both movies were filmed in Alberta.
There will be free cookies for the first 200 people in attendance.
“We will also be serving popcorn during the movie,” Drake said.
In the case of inclement weather, entertainment and movies will move to the Rotary Performing Arts Centre.
The provincial government proclaimed Alberta Day in 2022 and said it is an opportunity to celebrate the history, achievements and opportunities available in the province.
Okotoks is one of 33 municipalities across Alberta that received funding from the province to help host Alberta Day events.
