Canmore Street Festival

The Canmore / Kananaskis Chamber of Commerce once again will be shutting down Main Street for the finish of the TransRockies race – filling it with artisans and vendors, fantastic foods and refreshments (not to mention a free pancake breakfast), and plenty of family entertainment.

Running the whole day long, the Canmore Street Fair is a colourful and vibrant event, celebrating the diversity of this mountain community, active outdoor lifestyle and activities, and of course the great achievement of completing a race that pushes both body and mind to the very limit.

For more information please contact Mark at 403-609-3517 or by e-mail canmorefest@west-interactive.com.
