Lethbridge—The wait is over! The Galt Museum & Archives is proud to present the return of the Discover Downtown Lethbridge Festival (formerly Taste of Downtown) on July 13, 2022 between the hours of 5 and 8 pm.

During the Discover Downtown Lethbridge Festival, ticket-holders sample menu items at well-established and new restaurants and cafés, tour businesses, and learn about the history of downtown historic buildings. This is a special event where street culture will come alive, and the sidewalks of downtown teem with people of all ages, no matter what the weather has in store.

“The Galt Museum & Archives is excited and proud to host Discover Downtown Lethbridge,” says Chris Roedler, Resource Development and Volunteer Coordinator at the Galt Museum & Archives. “The city’s vibrant downtown has changed quite dramatically in the past few years, and I believe that it is time for everyone to get out and discover what Lethbridge’s downtown has in store.”

“Discover Downtown Lethbridge Festival is a community fundraiser that will help raise money for the renewal and redesign of the Galt’s Discovery Hall exhibit space,” says Roedler. “Tickets are $50.00 for this one-evening event. We also encourage everyone to show their appreciation to the participating establishments by visiting them all year long!”

Once tickets are purchased, a digital map will be emailed to the purchaser so they will be able to start where they want during the set timeframe. Each participating business will have a visible sign identifying its participation in Discover Downtown.

Businesses that are participating at this time include Red Arrow Motor, Buskers Bryan Bradfield and Alice Tinordi, Purple Hippo Boutique, Phoenix Fitness, Analog Books, Theoretically Brewing, Infinitea, 4 Elements Massage, Décor Out The Door, StandOut Photography, How Sweet Inc., Downtown BRZ, Mocha Local and Mocha Cabana. More businesses will be added to our webpage and social channels, so keep checking to see who is new!

Tickets are $50.00. To purchase tickets, or to check the up-to-date list of vendors, please visit our website at www.galtmuseum.com/events/discover-downtown-lethbridge.
