Grande Prairie's Folktales Tour returns to Heritage Village Oct. 16-17
After-dark walking tours will share eerie Peace region history through storytelling, theatre and podcast performers at two evening time slots.
The Folktales Tour is returning to the Grande Prairie Museum's Heritage Village this weekend, offering guided after-dark walks through the Peace region's eerie history on Friday, Oct. 16 and Saturday, Oct. 17.
Members of the Generations Readers Theatre, the Disturbing the Peace podcast, and the South Peace Regional Archives will bring local stories to life during the tours. Mayor Jackie Clayton described the event as a memorable way to mark the Halloween season and experience Heritage Village in a different light, noting the appeal of gathering to share stories in a historic setting.
Tours will run both nights at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., lasting about an hour and 15 minutes as an outdoor walking experience. The City of Grande Prairie is encouraging attendees to dress for the weather. Tickets cost $25 and are available through the city's website.
The city is also seeking volunteers to help with event support roles, with interested community members asked to contact events@cityofgp.com.
