Event Description
Join us as we celebrate Alberta Culture Days with FREE arts programming, live music, and multicultural events at the Canmore Festival of Art & Creativity, Sept. 18-20, 2026!
Participate in three days filled to the brim with music and live performances, art workshops and demonstrations, hands-on activities, films, community campfires, and outdoor markets as we celebrate over a decade of Bringing Community and Creativity Together.
At the heart of our festival is the belief that creativity brings people together. Whether we are creating, performing, learning, or simply sharing a moment together, the arts foster belonging and strengthen the fabric of our community. This year's theme is a celebration of the countless connections that begin with a single creative act. It is a reminder that when we come together, we don't just experience art—we build a stronger, more connected, and more vibrant Bow Valley.
