Thank you!

10,500 ways to say thank you

That number reflects the people who came together in the heart of Spruce Grove to celebrate ‘Summer at the Centre’ 2025. Over four evenings, Saturday July 5, 19, August 2 and 16, our City Centre came alive with music, culture, and community spirit. Families enjoyed barrier free activities, local and regional performers filled the stage with energy, and more than 120 vendors and food trucks created a vibrant marketplace.

None of this would have been possible without the support of more than 20 dedicated sponsors who believed in the vision of bringing people together to the City Centre. Every performance, every shared meal, and every smile was a direct reflection of your investment in community vibrancy.

As we look back on the success of this summer, we also look ahead to building on this momentum in 2026.
