Alberta Day 2026

Under big Alberta skies, we spotlight the stories, music and spirit that bind us together and makes Alberta unique. 
On September 1, 1905, the Alberta Act came into effect and formally established the province of Alberta. To mark this anniversary, Alberta’s government declared September 1st as Alberta Day in perpetuity. Alberta Day is a celebration of the story of Alberta– and an opportunity to tell it again and again, year after year after year.
