AUGUST 2-5, 2024 • LAC LA BICHE, ALBERTA
Welcome
Welcome Message from Lac La Biche County Mayor Paul Reutov:
On behalf of Lac La Biche County, I’d like to welcome you to the annual Summer Days festival.
This festival truly showcases our community at its best. Families enjoy the parade, the midway and the fireworks show. Business owners see a surge of new customers and clients. And visitors experience the beauty of our lakes, make friends with our alwayswelcoming residents, and learn about the cultures that make us one of the most diverse rural regions in Alberta.
Our community has many dedicated volunteers who have worked hard to make Lac La Biche Summer Days a success – I would like to thank them once again for coming together this year and working with County staff to make Summer Days the best it can be. And I am excited to see the fresh ideas and time-honoured traditions that will be mixed into this year’s festival.
I would like to wish residents, visitors and volunteers a safe and enjoyable weekend.
Unforeseen circumstances happen. If event details change, we’ll share them on Facebook (@llbsumdays). Give us a follow to stay in the know.
