Chautauqua Days | Sexsmith | June 2026
It's safe to say that it rained on our parade this year. But as an eternal optimist, I have to say it was still a fantastic turnout despite the weather. After attending this event for the past few years, this was the first Chautauqua Days where the rain was here to stay. Usually, it holds off until late afternoon, so I'd call this poor timing, but much-needed rain nonetheless.🌦️
Much like an outdoor photoshoot, when the weather doesn't cooperate, you simply roll with it and make the best of the day.
One of the highlights this year was the special preview hosted by the Sexsmith and District Museum Society. Visitors had the opportunity to explore two new museum locations and visit several exciting new exhibits. An incredible amount of hard work has gone into these additions, and it shows. Be sure to stop by and check them out this summer. 🏛️
Despite the rain, Main Street, Food Truck Alley, and the Sexsmith Farmers Market were buzzing with activity. It was wonderful to see so many people out supporting this special annual event.
A huge thank you to all of the parade participants who braved the weather, the hardworking Chautauqua Days committee for organizing another great celebration, the local vendors, and everyone who came out and made the day special despite the rain. ☔
Sometimes the best community events aren't remembered for perfect weather, but for the people who show up anyway.
