WELCOME

to the Millarville Racing and Agriculture Society!

Millarville Racing and Agriculture Society

We are one of Alberta's oldest community organizations, located approximately 30 minutes south west of Calgary, Alberta in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. We are an organization which thrives on community spirit. Millarville is home to Canada's oldest race track and racing event. The annual Millarville race meet on Canada Day has been a success for 101 years and counting.

We would like to invite you and your friends for a unique racing experience. Enjoy Pari-Mutuel betting, beer gardens, children's events and the beauty of the Alberta foothills on July 1st.

Stay the weekend and take in the Canadian Professional Chuck wagon Association 4th annual race.

In 1907, the people of Millarville and Priddis decided they should have an agricultural fair. One hundred years later the community is still celebrating their agricultural and artistic history with a traditional country fair. The Priddis and Millarville Fair is one of Canada's pre-eminent traditional fairs with thousands of displays and competitors. We would like to encourage you to enter our fair, or simply join us to view the displays and livestock competitions.

Nowhere in southern Alberta can you find more fresh produce and unique goods than at the Millarville Farmers' Market. With almost 200 retailers, you are sure to find eclectic gifts, delicious baking and some of the freshest fruit and vegetables anywhere. Join us every Saturday morning from 8:30 a.m. to noon, starting in June, 2009.

Don't forget to attend the Christmas at Millarville Market November 7, 8 and 9, 2008.

Although the Millarville Rodeo is a relatively new event for the Millarville community it's already become an exciting tradition!

Entering its eleventh year, the Foothills Cowboy Association Rodeo will feature everyone's favourite wild events including bull riding, steer wrestling, saddle and bareback bronc riding, barrel racing and calf roping. Be prepared to be on the edge of your seat for one of the best rodeos in Alberta. You'll be sitting so close you're going to feel the adrenaline rush as top cowboys and cowgirls compete for top dollars.
