Experience the Energy of the Lacombe Trade Show This April

Yesterday

Spring in Lacombe wouldn’t be complete without one of the community’s most anticipated events — the Lacombe Trade Show & Marketplace. Taking place on Friday, April 17 and Saturday, April 18, this year’s show promises two full days of connection, discovery, and local pride.

Proudly sponsored by Gary Moe Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, the Trade Show continues to be a cornerstone event that brings together local businesses, organizations, and residents from across the region.

Whether you’re a longtime resident, a business owner, or simply looking for something fun to do with family and friends, the Lacombe Trade Show is a great way to see what’s happening in our community.

Friday, April 17: A Strong Start to the Weekend

The Trade Show kicks off Friday afternoon, setting the tone for an exciting weekend ahead. As doors open, attendees can explore a wide range of exhibitors featuring local businesses, services, and organizations from Lacombe and the surrounding area.

Friday is the perfect opportunity to take your time, have conversations with vendors, learn about new products or services, and reconnect with familiar faces. The relaxed evening atmosphere makes it easy to browse, ask questions, and enjoy the buzz of the show as it gets underway.

Saturday, April 18: A Full Day of Discovery

Saturday brings a full day of Trade Show excitement. With more time to explore, visitors can revisit favourite booths or discover new ones they may have missed the day before. From home and lifestyle services to retail, community groups, and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Saturday also offers additional activities throughout the day, including the popular Pet Adoption Event, proudly sponsored by Curious Tails. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet adoptable pets and learn more about the important work being done to support animal welfare in our community.

Special Features You Won’t Want to Miss

In addition to the wide variety of exhibitors, this year’s Lacombe Trade Show offers a few special experiences that add even more fun to the weekend. Families can stop by for free family photos, a perfect opportunity to capture a professional-quality keepsake while you’re already out enjoying the show. It’s an easy and memorable way to mark the occasion.

Be sure to also try your luck in the Money Tunnel, where participants have the chance to win exciting local prizes. One lucky winner will take home the grand prize of $250 in Chamber Bucks, while many others can walk away with $25 gift certificates to a wide selection of local and regional businesses. It’s a quick, fun activity that highlights the strong support for shopping and supporting local.

Why the Lacombe Trade Show Matters

The Lacombe Trade Show is more than a marketplace — it’s a reflection of the strength and diversity of our local community. It brings together entrepreneurs, non-profits, residents, and visitors in one shared space, encouraging collaboration, conversation, and support for local initiatives.

By attending, you’re helping support local businesses, discovering services close to home, and strengthening the connections that make Lacombe such a great place to live.

Celebrating Community Spirit: A Look into Lacombe Days

Jul 13 '24

Nestled in the heart of Alberta, Canada, lies a small yet vibrant city with a big sense of community - Lacombe. Every summer, this city comes alive with a celebration that encapsulates the very essence of its spirit - Lacombe Days. It's a time when locals and visitors alike gather to celebrate their heritage, culture, and the tight-knit bonds that make Lacombe a truly special place.

Lacombe Days is not just a festival; it's a tradition deeply ingrained in the fabric of the city. Dating back decades, this annual event brings together people of all ages for a weekend filled with festivities, entertainment, and a whole lot of fun. What sets Lacombe Days apart is its genuine warmth and inclusivity, making everyone feel like they belong.

One of the highlights of Lacombe Days is the parade that winds its way through the streets, showcasing colorful floats, marching bands, and community groups proudly displaying their heritage and achievements. It's a sight to behold, drawing spectators from near and far who line the sidewalks, cheering and waving as the procession passes by.

But Lacombe Days is much more than just a parade. Throughout the weekend, the city plays host to a diverse array of events and activities designed to appeal to people of all interests. From live music performances and dance shows to sporting competitions and artisan markets, there's never a dull moment during Lacombe Days.

Get ready to rock with Finger Eleven and Prism as they take the stage, delivering an electrifying performance filled with timeless hits and unforgettable moments. Tickets starting at only $50!

One of the things that makes Lacombe Days truly special is the sense of community that permeates every aspect of the event. It's a time when neighbors come together to celebrate their shared heritage and create lasting memories. Whether you're catching up with old friends, making new ones, or simply enjoying the festive atmosphere, there's a palpable sense of camaraderie that fills the air.

But perhaps the most heartwarming aspect of Lacombe Days is its emphasis on giving back to the community. Throughout the weekend, various fundraising initiatives and charitable events take place, aimed at supporting local causes and organizations. It's a testament to the generosity and compassion of the people of Lacombe, who understand the importance of looking out for one another.

As the sun sets on another unforgettable Lacombe Days, the sense of togetherness lingers, serving as a reminder of what makes this city so special. In a world that often feels increasingly disconnected, events like Lacombe Days serve as a beacon of hope, showcasing the power of community to unite and uplift us all.

So, if you ever find yourself in Alberta during the summer months, be sure to pay a visit to Lacombe and experience the magic of Lacombe Days for yourself. You'll be welcomed with open arms and leave with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
