I can’t believe September is here and it sneaking up on us. One minute we’re trying to fit everything we can into summer, and the next the backpacks are out, mornings are cooler and everyone is getting back into some kind of routine.

But September around Cold Lake definitely doesn't mean everything comes to a stop.

There are still plenty of reasons to get out of the house this month, support something local and enjoy our community before we officially settle into fall.

So, what’s happening around Cold Lake this September? Here are a few events worth adding to your calendar.

Cold Lake and Distract FCSS: Program Guide

I couldn't pick just one FCSS program to add to this month's list because first there are quite a few happening throughout September and this was my favourite place to spend when my kids were younger not so much my youngest son but my oldest it sure gives you something to do when the weather starts changing.

They have a mix of programs and activities for different ages, so rather than making you scroll through a long list here, I've linked their full schedule below. It's definitely worth taking a look—you might find something you didn't know was offered right here in Cold Lake. Check out all the events they offer!

Cold Lake Farmers Market: Every Thursday from 3:30 pm-6:30 pm!

So much to check out at our local Farmers Market at the AG Society from so many local vendors!
