Alberta Provincial Legislature Building With Farmer's Day Lighting

CELEBRATING THE REMARKABLE EFFORTS OF FARMERS.

It's time to celebrate the unwavering commitment of our amazing farmers. They're the reason our province thrives on agriculture. Farming isn't just about meeting our basic needs, it's a driving force in our economy. So, on this special Farmer's Day, let's show our heartfelt gratitude and celebrate farmers. Cities across the province are joining in on the fun too! They'll be giving Mayoral Proclamations and lighting up iconic landmarks like the High Level Bridge in Edmonton, the Calgary Tower, and Lethbridge City Hall.

Historic Photo

Farmer's day is established. In 1951 the Alberta government declares every second Friday in June to be Farmers Holiday by Order in Council. Schools are closed for the day. Festivities are held by local communities.

Modern Farmer's Day

UFA officially revives Farmer’s day. We brought back the tradition of Farmer’s Day as a way to honour the contributions of Alberta farmers and the agriculture industry.

The event has changed since then, and although no longer a provincial holiday, it still stands as the day where we celebrate those in the agriculture industry.
