Celebrate Alberta's 292 agricultural societies on September 21

On September 21, we honor the incredible impact of Alberta’s Agricultural Societies , each working tirelessly to enhance the quality of life in their communities. These societies, often led by dedicated volunteers, are the unsung heroes behind the fairs, events, and facilities that bring us all together.

Have you enjoyed a small-town fair recently?
It’s likely thanks to your local Ag Society! They’re the ones behind the scenes, planning and hosting the events that make our communities vibrant and connected.

Why Celebrate?
By recognizing Agricultural Society Day, we’re not only showing appreciation for their hard work but also raising awareness of their critical role in our communities. Let’s inspire others to get involved and keep the spirit of these community builders alive!

Join the Celebration on September 21!
