Every year over a weekend in early August, Rosebud Park in Didsbury, Alberta, becomes a portal to the middle ages. Prepare to be enthralled as you step into the Days of Yore festival, covering the periods from 800 AD to 1945 and being a sheer delight to the history buffs. Watch the authentic representations of the bygone eras by the Sons of Fenrir Vikings, Victorian Society of Alberta, Dragons Own Medieval Combat Group, Yankee Valley Yankees, Edmonton House Brigade, 10th Battalion (CEF) Commemorative Association (WWI), Prairie Motor Brigade, WWII First Special Service Force Reenactors, and the Alberta 18th Century Reenactment Group!
Aside from the demonstrations, the Days of Yore boasts a lush draw of artisans from Mountain View County and beyond the region. Also, you're welcome to indulge in sumptuous foods, offered by the Rocky Roadz Ice Cream, Gourmet Mini Donuts, Red Deer Food Bank, The Food Dude Truck, and the Bar-B-Crew Trailer. More information and the latest announcements are provided on the event's official website, mentioned in the External Resources below.
Lastly, ensure yourself a comfortable stay and book the lodgings in advance. Rosebud Park is tucked away at the east entrance to Didsbury, just off Secondary Highway 582 (20th Ave). You can see the closest accommodations on the map.
