Jul 17, 2018 | 12:05 PM

LETHBRIDGE – Lethbridge College is bringing Coulee Fest back to campus this year because they believe one year of celebration just wasn’t enough.

The event will feature live music, family fun areas, food trucks, academic showcases, beer gardens and much more. 

The free Coulee Fest community festival will be held on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. 

Dr. Paula Burns, Lethbridge College President and CEO, says they launched Coulee Fest last year as a celebration of their 60th anniversary and it was such a positive experience they felt like they had to do it again.

“This is the college’s chance to say thank you to all of Southern Alberta for its support and we invite everyone to join us once again for a day of fun and celebration,” Burns added.
