We're hitting the road this summer to start a youtube series by visiting 25 small towns in 2025. It's going to be an exciting project getting out and experience the true culture of Alberta in the little towns we don't always get to see.

Open Farm Days is an opportunity to get out of the city and experience places like Bar OA Farms. I recently experienced this amazing farm and you can too this weekend Sunday from 10-4. #ruralalberta #openfarmdays #baroafarms #explorealberta #fortsaskatchewan

This summer I took in the Pigeon Lake Medieval Madness. A community coming together to venture back to the middle ages and escape into the fantasy! Jousting, artisan markets, medieval village, heavy armour combat and more! Check out the episode youtu.be/dndkf_QiINY?si…

#HappyThanksgiving I'm visiting 25 Alberta towns in 2025! Check out my youtube channel. youtube.com/@BackroadsAlbe…

Stop 25 — Bassano, Alberta The Backroads Alberta countdown kicks off here! We rolled into Bassano for a BBQ throwdown at Small Town Smoke Down… and stuck around to explore the Bassano Dam — the engineering giant that turned this prairie into farmland. Stories in rural Alberta!

23-Vulcan, Alberta 🚀🌾 Spock Days was everything you’d hope — Star Trek everywhere, a parade that brought the whole town out. But the real story? The people. Conversations that revealed a deep agricultural heart and a community proud of its roots — long before the enterprise.

Stop 22 — Ponoka 🐴🔥 Big event. Small-town heart. The Ponoka Stampede gave me the rodeo experience I didn’t know I was missing — especially the thunder of those chuckwagon races. ▶️ Watch the episode 👇 youtu.be/SJXSnkBqOcg?si…

Stop 21 — Raymond, AB 🇨🇦🔥 Sports. Stampede. Parade. Fireworks. The ultimate Canada Day — small-town style. #smalltown #EverybodylovesRaymond youtu.be/jedjp-FJgbA

Stop 20 — Trochu, AB Bullarama in Trochu was everything — bulls, riders, mutton busters, and a whole community cheering them on. A town founded by a rancher… still celebrating what built it. #Trochu #alberta #ruralalberta #BullRiding Watch the episode youtu.be/qh7HSr-pVoQ

Stop 19 — Stettler, AB 🎅🚂 A steam train that sends you back 100 years… A Christmas season straight out of a Hallmark movie… And a Polar Express experience that brings the whole town to life. Stettler is full of surprises — in every season. #stettler #steamtrain #alberta

Stop 18 — Pigeon Lake. Pigeon Lake is a place that shines in every season. In the summer, I visited during Medieval Madness Faire, where knights, armor, and pageantry took over. But even in the winter it's got some pretty cool stuff happening there like horse drawn rides.

Stop 17 — Nanton, AB ✈️🍬 Sometimes the best towns are the ones you think you already know. Nanton had always been a quick stop for me — famous water, stretch the legs, move on. But staying longer revealed so much more: a community parade, a world-class aviation museum, etc.

Stop 15 — Slave Lake delivered contrast in the best way. Calm beauty of Lesser Slave Lake... at the doorstep of Northern Alberta's wilderness. And then there’s the event we came for… A demolition derby... Loud. Messy. And an absolute blast to watch. #explorealberta #slavelake

Stop 14 — Tofield, Alberta 🤠🎉 What I thought would be a simple main street event turned out to be a full-on community vibe. This was the promenade during Western Days this summer and the rodeo was just as fun. #smalltownfun #tofield #rodeo #alberta

Backroads Alberta was featured in the Albertan today for the work we did with the town of Town of Sundre, Alberta. Pretty cool. thealbertan.com/sundre-news/su…
