Exhibition Park (Lethbridge)

Lethbridge & District Exhibition (LDE) is an exhibition complex located on the eastern edge of Lethbridge, Alberta. It was established in 1897.

Facilities edit

Permanent structures at the site include a 10,664 m² (114,787 ft²) pavilion complex (main, north, west and south pavilions, and Saddle Room), Heritage Hall and a grandstand.

In March 2021, renovations began on the Exhibition Grounds. The project cost $70.5 Million and is expected to complete as early as 2023. The project was funded by the Government of Alberta’s recovery program.

Events edit

Roughly 950 events are held at the park every year, which attract over 850,000 visitors and provide $81 million in economic benefit to the city.[1] By far, the largest event held at the park is Whoop-Up Days, an annual summer fair. Other annual events include Ag Expo, the Home & Garden Show, a weekly Farmers' Market, Country Christmas Craft Show, and Family Fest.

Governance edit

Exhibition Park is governed by a board of directors consisting of members of the community, including a president, two vice presidents, a past president, and a member each from the City of Lethbridge council and the County of Lethbridge council. The 2006 board of directors consisted of 14 persons.

In the 2005 budget, Exhibition Park had annual revenue of roughly $2.3 million and annual expenditures of about $2.1 million.
