A new community celebration is coming to town as the Rocky Mountain Spring Market and Festival debuts at Central Park in Banff, Alberta, this spring. The event will run from Friday, April 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. through Monday, April 20, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.

Admission is free for all ages, offering residents and visitors a chance to explore local vendors, artisans, and food stalls. The festival will also feature live entertainment throughout the four-day event. Those interested in booking a vendor booth or seeking more information can contact the event organizer, Paige Schullian, via email at [email protected].

The festival will take place at Central Park, located at the corner of Buffalo Street and Bear Street. Situated beside the Bow River and near Banff Avenue, the venue provides amenities including public washroom facilities, water bottle filling stations, a bike repair station, and parking for attendees.

This event joins other community gatherings typically hosted at the park, such as the Banff Farmers Market and the Banff Harvest Festival. Like these established traditions, the new spring festival is designed to provide a space for the community to gather and support local businesses.
