Ideas for Alberta Vacations include Touring Boomtown Trail & Farmer’s Markets
Alberta, Canada June 1, 2007 —Some vacationers choose to go to the city and some choose to go to the country. Others want both, and two new articles by Travel Alberta detail themed ways to enjoy the province, offering up perfect information for the diverse Alberta vacation. The articles—included in Travel Alberta’s new monthly e-Bulletin—feature a tour of the Boomtown Trail and an exploration of Farmer’s Markets, both excursions that give visitors a taste of the urban and the rural in Alberta.
The Boomtown Trail article details a music and theater tour along the highway that traverses the space between Calgary, international gateway city to the Canadian Rockies, and Edmonton, international gateway city to the North. Each city is known for its summertime folk, music, and theater festivals, and in between them a series of rural, historic towns also offer up a surprising array of activities—from Camrose’s Big Valley Jamboree, which serves as Canada’s biggest country music extravaganza, to the popular Rosebud dinner theatre in Rosebud, Alberta. According to the article, Alberta visitors who enjoy cultural endeavors should make a point of visiting both cities—and everything in between.
