The River Valley Alliance Community Engagement Committee and the Fort Heritage Precinct invite you to Step Back in Time on Saturday, July 11, 2026, from 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM for a family-friendly afternoon of history, community, and old-fashioned fun in Fort Saskatchewan.
This collaborative event will begin with an easy guided walk exploring the Heritage Trail area and its connection to the River Valley trail system before participants enjoy a special tour of the Heritage Village. Along the way, guests will learn more about life in the Fort Saskatchewan area during the early 1900s and explore the historic buildings and stories that helped shape the community.
Following the tour, participants are invited to bring their own picnic lunch and enjoy classic games and activities inspired by the 1900s–1930s. Guests are encouraged to dress in old-style or historical clothing for the event, although costumes are not required. There may even be prizes for the best “Back in Time” outfit!
