The day begins bright and early with a pancake breakfast at the Tilley Fire Hall, followed by a lively “Once Upon a Parade” that brings the theme to life. Throughout the day, guests can explore a bustling community market, take part in fun activities like a selfie hunt and dirt dig, and cool off with a dunk tank and slip & slide.
Families will find plenty to enjoy with face painting, gel blasters, bouncy castles, and a reverse bungee, while the competitive spirit heats up during the chili cook-off (bring your favorite recipe!) and the always-popular pie contest.
As the evening settles in, the celebration continues with a nostalgic drive-in movie experience, leading up to a spectacular fireworks display at dusk—the perfect ending to a magical day in Tilley.
Whether attending for the games, the food, or the community atmosphere, visitors are invited to celebrate Canada in a setting that feels straight out of a fairy tale.
