The Spring and Summer Active Living Fair in Blackfalds has been postponed, with the event now set to take place on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. The change was announced through the Blackfalds Community Group on Facebook, confirming that the gathering will move to an indoor venue.
While specific details regarding the new location are still being finalized, the event is expected to highlight health and wellness opportunities for residents. Interest in the fair has grown locally, particularly following a similar successful event recently held in the nearby community of Lacombe.
The town continues to prioritize health and community programming under the leadership of Mayor Laura Svab, who was elected in October 2025. This commitment is supported by the town’s approved 2026 operating budget of $38.9 million, which includes funding for various recreation programs and facilities throughout the community.
As the town looks ahead to the May event, residents can continue to access local wellness resources through facilities like the Abbey Centre. Additionally, Blackfalds Family and Community Support Services remains an active resource, offering specific programs such as Vibrant Living 50+ to support health and social connections for older adults in the region.
