For more than 40 years, Aggie Days has brought the farm to the heart of Calgary, connecting thousands of students and families with the people, animals, and stories behind where our food comes from. This year’s event takes place at the Nutrien Western Event Centre at Stampede Park.
Whether you are visiting with a class or planning a family outing, this hands-on event offers a chance to experience Alberta agriculture up close. For full event details, visit the Aggie Days webpage.
