A friendly place to sing a song or spin a tale! 🎶

Bring your guitar, fiddle, voice, or just a story worth telling. Fantasia Fridays is a free evening around the Heritage Square fire pit where friends and strangers make the music and share the tales themselves. There is no stage and no audience, only a circle of people passing songs and stories back and forth as the week fades. Part of our Summer in the Park series. Come add your part. 🪕

Free to attend. Happening on July 24 & 31 and August 7 & 14 from 5-7pm. All are welcome, players and listeners alike!

Slow down for some creative fun on a summer afternoon! ☀️🍉

Saturday afternoons are for slowing the pace and letting the day open up. Come to Central Spray & Play on July 25 and August 1, 8, and 15 from 1-4:30pm for an afternoon of creative activities and unhurried play – the kind that lets kids run through the water and grown-ups exhale. Make something with your hands, splash around, or simply find a patch of grass and rest awhile. Part of our Summer in the Park series. Bring the whole family and hang for the afternoon!

Free to attend. All ages welcome.

Bring your own thing and we'll help you turn it into your own tie dye!

Bring a shirt, scarf, pair of socks, or anything cotton that could use a splash of colour. 🌈 Tie Dye Tuesdays are afternoons in Heritage Square where we teach you the folds, the twists, and the dips that turn plain fabric into something bright and truly one of a kind. No experience needed. Come learn a new trick, make a mess in the best way, and leave with something you made yourself. Part of our Summer in the Park series.

Free to attend. Happening July 21 & 28 and August 4 & 11 from 1-4:30pm. All ages welcome!

Red Deer Arts Council is pleased to announce that the vibrant Artwalk summer festival is returning to downtown Red Deer for the first time in over a decade.  

On Saturday, Aug. 29, colourful market booths featuring locally created paintings, ceramics, textile arts and jewelry will line the site of the former Buffalo hotel at the corner of Ross Street and 51st Avenue.  

The 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. event will highlight original works by 26 Red Deer-area vendors, with musical entertainment provided by local musicians.   

The original Artwalk festival was started to allow artists and artisans to promote and sell products of their creativity. It ran for more than 26 years before ending in 2015. 

The remaining funds of over $25,000 from the festival were used to found the Red Deer Art Walk Developing Artist Award in 2018 which the council continues to award each year.  

This summer, the annual festival is being revived by the Red Deer Arts Council to help inspire community connection and cultural appreciation. Red Deerians will be brought together in the downtown through this celebration of local creativity, live music, and family friendly activities.  

Join us in celebrating and supporting Red Deer’s vibrant art community with the return of our historic Artwalk summer festival.  

In case of rain, the alternative date for Artwalk is Sept. 19.
