We’re celebrating our mountain community during Banff Locals Appreciation Days! Bow Valley residents are invited to experience the Banff Gondola, Lake Minnewanka Cruise and Columbia Icefield Adventure from May 23 to 30, 2026 for a minimum donation of $5 per guest, per attraction. All proceeds support the Pursuit Community Fund, administered through the Banff Canmore Foundation.
The festivities kick off May 23 with our Community Celebration at Banff High School Sports Field. Join us from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a day of face painting, live music, games, sparkle tattoos and BBQ fare (with a cash donation of $5 to the Pursuit Community Fund).
Enjoy a buffet brunch in the Rockies, including a spritz bar, live entertainment, floral photo opportunities and more. Available on weekends from April 3 to May 31.
