It's a "cool" way to celebrate Alberta Day!
To mark the 121st anniversary of Alberta’s provincial status, the Town of Okotoks is hosting a free outdoor movie night, Movies in the Park, at Ethel Park on Friday, August 28th. The festivities begin at 4 p.m. with face painting and food trucks, followed by a historical performance by the Guns of the Golden West from 5 to 6 p.m.
The Calgary-based troupe will perform an educational re-enactment featuring Fur Trade and Old West-era characters, including an Old West-style theatrical shootout. Please note that all firearms used during the performance are non-lethal theatrical props and do not use live ammunition.
The movie night kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with a showing of Cool Runnings, released in 1993, followed by Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Attendees are asked to bring their own blankets and lawn chairs for seating, and are also welcome to bring their own snacks.
Alberta Day celebrates the province’s culture and heritage, commemorating its official status as a province on September 1, 1905. Despite construction on Riverside Drive, parking remains available for those attending the event, with the Okotoks Public Library parking lot and parking throughout downtown available for attendees.
