Before there was Spooky Strathma, there was Medieval Days.

Back in the 1960s, Sherwood Park came together for costumes, pageantry and plenty of local fun. This October, Strathma is bringing that story back to life.

Come see where it all began, then make a plan to visit us throughout the month.

Spooky Strathma: Medieval Days runs October 3-31, 2026.
Find the full October schedule at strathma.ca.

Explore Spooky Strathma this October with a medieval exhibit, family dances, an escape room, D&D Night, a market and more in Sherwood Park.
