Step into a real-life WESTERN this year
Alberta’s Paintearth Region welcomes visitors with open arms
Hit the highway for a Paintearth rodeo weekend
Explore some of Alberta’s badlands with their endless skies, rolling hills and so much room to breathe. With four fast-paced rodeos spread throughout the summer, Paintearth offers Albertans the opportunity to plan a summer adventure in their own backyard. Explore everything we have to offer.
Escape the city for a weekend and enjoy some good old-fashioned
country fun
The Paintearth Region, east of Red Deer, offers visitors a chance to step away from their TV’s, laptops and phones, and step into a real life western this summer. Albertans are invited to enjoy down-to-earth weekends with the cowboys and cowgirls at small town rodeos.
You’ll be so close that you can see the sweat on the cowboy’s brows as they work to best the bulls. Enjoy the sun on your neck while the dust sweeps around you as you watch the rodeo action. And after a day in the stands, you can relax under the stars – far from city lights.
Paintearth is opening its arms this summer to invite Albertans of all ages to come explore the Western way of life.
