Alberta Arts Days High River Events

High River Centennial Library chosen as one of the Host Sites!

The High River Library was one of the fortunate recipients of the Alberta Arts Days Grants. We, the Library, have worked closely with the town to help make this weekend a celebration of our local artists. The grant has gone towards purchasing signs so the public can find the 25 venues easily. We have had brochures and bookmarks out since the beginning of July, advertising the plethora of talented artists we have in and around High River. With over 25 venues and well over a 100 artists, High River truly demonstrates that there is "Something for Everyone". Please join us to Discover! Experience! and Celebrate!
