Based
on earlier models in Calgary and Edmonton, this 7th annual Festival
is a week-long celebration of Lethbridge history complete with exhibitions,
tours, film screenings, concerts and other events; look for the
HLF brochure in April at the Allied Arts Council, Chinook Country
Tourist Association, City Hall, Galt Museum & Archives, Lethbridge
Public Library and other locations throughout the city.
Organized
by a steering committee of Lethbridge-based organizations and interested
individuals, Historic Lethbridge Festival promotes and acknowledges
the diversity and importance of history and heritage to the local
and area community.
The
first Historic Lethbridge Week took place May 8 - 16, 2004.
