The month of September marks Culture Days in Alberta, a month-long celebration of art, music, dance, food and more.
Last year, 247,000 residents attended events across the province. This year, to get even more people out, the government says it’s awarded $380,000 in grants to support 111 organizations in 48 communities to host their events.
It’s also offering free admission to its 20 provincially owned museums, historic sites and archives on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 27-28.
