LETHBRIDGE, AB– Whoop-Up Days is returning with a bit of a different layout.

As COVID-19 seemed to shut down the world, we are slowly waking back up and Lethbridge’s famous Whoop-Up Days are returning – with restrictions and limited activities.

For normal years, Whoop-Up Days would have a huge carnival filled with rides, games, food vendors, and musical guests.

This year is different. There will be many different food-based events and all proceeds made at Exhibition Park will go towards nine different Food Bank charities around Lethbridge.

The events for Whoop-up Days 2020 are as follows:
