Olds residents looking for handmade yarns, weaving supplies, and unique crafts can shop from 28 local and regional vendors when the Prairie Fibre Festival returns for its second annual event on June 13, 2026.
The festival runs from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Olds Pomeroy Inn and Suites at 4601 46 Avenue. A $5 entrance fee applies at the door.
Organizer Lori Desrosiers says the 2026 Olds vendor list includes fibre farms, yarn studios, weaving shops, and handmade goods producers from across Alberta and beyond. Attendees can meet artisans behind operations like Darlene’s Sheep Farm, Sassy Strings Yarn Studio, Hamster Yarns, Black Cat Weaving Studio, Baa-realis Fibre, and Fibre Goddess.
The Prairie Fibre Festival began in Lacombe in 2017 and expanded to Olds last year. A fall event in Lacombe is scheduled for September 12, 2026, at the Lacombe Memorial Centre.
The festival takes place on Treaty 6 territory, the traditional lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux.
