This is our 6th year of the Western Market and we are so excited to host yet another great event for our community while showcasing talented small businesses from across the province.
Rodeo weekend in Pincher Creek is a four day event! It consists of a team roping and breakaway roping event, gymkhana and mutton bustin' for the kids, a three day pro rodeo, beer gardens and concession, pancake breakfasts, one of the best small town parades around and a cabaret that is always a good time! Many other businesses host events around town too, so there is always something going on.
One thing is for sure though, everyone looks forward to the Western Market!
You can find more information here as well as a schedule of events.
https://www.pinchercreekprorodeo.com/At the Western Market we strive to promote creatives and small business owners. We try to
curate a shopping experience with a wide variety of products (something for everyone) and with a focus on the country and western lifestyle. Our goal is offer a unique shopping experience for all who walk through the door.
Our market is organized and ran by volunteers. 100% of the profit from the market goes to the Pincher Creek Ag Society to put towards their future events or general upkeep of facilities.
We are so thankful for all of our vendors and volunteers who make the event a success!
