Things to Do in High River (Recommendations from a Resident!)
High River Library: There is always something going on. Need to tucker the kid out and tired of reading “What Will Fat Cat Sit On” for the 50th time today? Go grab a book at the library! Does your teen want to make some stuff, or play DnD? They have that too. For the adults, there are quiet places to read or get work done, or you can join the fun during one of the adult craft nights.
Trivia Night at The Vinyl Cafe: Every Thursday, Nick (not me, a different Nick!) runs a trivia night, each week there is a different theme. The topic could be something as “normal” as TV Shows or Music, or something completely random. . It isn’t the only thing they run there, you will also be able to experience live music, bingo, or euchre. There is something for everyone. If you do go, please tell Nick that the 2nd coolest Nick in town says “Hi”!
Dudes, do you need a haircut? Need a place to sit, chat, and have a cold one? The Daily Male is the place you want to go.
Archery: Who doesn’t like feeling like Robin Hood every now and then? Our local outdoors store, Flys Etc. has an archery range! You can rent bows here, so don’t worry if you are a beginner!
Evelyn’s Memory Lane Diner: Want to enjoy a milkshake and some food in a 1950s diner? Located in the movie-ready downtown of High River, Evelyn’s Diner is a great place to stop for lunch after a hot day walking around our beautiful downtown.
Go for a Walk, Bike, Jog, or any pathway-safe method of locomotion around the Happy Trails, you’ll see some beautiful lakes, parks, and homes. If you’d prefer more of a theme to your walk, you can do the Scenes to Stories walking tour!
Museum of the Highwood: Visit some of our local history in our museum! They also do exhibits with local artists from time to time, which are a blast to see.
Our beautiful Downtown and Rodeo Plaza. There is not enough space for me to mention all of my favourite shops, and if I tried, I’d run the risk of leaving one out so I’ll make it quick, we have something for EVERYONE. Want to go be a kid in a candy shop? Check. Feel like finding your next favourite book series? Check. Artisan goods like soaps and sourdough? Check. Beard Care products? Check. Different foods? Absolutely check! I know it is early in the season for this, but you can easily knock out half of your Christmas shopping in a quarter of a day here.
Go see a movie at Wales Theater! It is one of our older buildings in town, and it has kept up the character for almost 100 years (built in 1927!). Reasonable admission and snack fees, they have upper balcony seating, and some of the comfiest chairs you will find.
I know I have missed things, but there is simply too much to cover, so I am going to work on more seasonal stuff as we approach Fall.
