Discover Downtown Lethbridge (formerly Taste of Downtown) is a new fundraising event set up by the Galt Museum & Archives. The event will happen four times through 2021 and 2022:

• September 21, 2021, from 5–8 pm;

• December 15, 2021, from 5–8 pm;

• April 20, 2022, from 5–8 pm; and

• July 12, 2022, from 5–8 pm.

This event will feature at least 20 businesses located anywhere in the city. While aspects of the event will focus on the downtown core, businesses that do not have a physical location downtown will be able to set up spots in the Galt Museum & Archives' Viewing Gallery or patio (weather depending).

100 tickets per hour, per evening will be sold for the event on the Friends of the Galt website, totalling up to 300 tickets per night.

Once the registration for businesses has closed, the event organizers will pair participating businesses to promote more businesses during each event. For example, a restaurant may be paired with a retail or professional services business on the passport. If vendors have any businesses that they would like to be paired with, they can indicate that via email to chris.roedler@galtmuseum.com.

The Galt Museum & Archives will be the starting point and hub for the event. Businesses without physical locations downtown can set up showcases in the Galt’s Viewing Gallery or on our outdoor patio.
