The Town of Taber Will Host The Annual Taber Pheasant Festival
Each year this event brings over 800 hunters to the Town of Taber, to celebrate the pheasant and educate hunters.
Have you ever wanted to learn to hunt? The Taber Pheasant Festival features a Novice hunt the first weekend which allows new hunters to learn gun safety, shoot clay targets, and receive shooting instruction from mentors. After the instruction, novice hunters will have an opportunity to hunt pheasants with a mentor. To learn more about the novice hunt, please visit the Alberta Conservation Association's website.
The festival's Game to Gourmet culinary event is always a favourite event. Professional chefs will present a special demo and tasting of gourmet pheasant-based dishes at HI BAR. Tickets for this event are $15/person and can be purchased in advance on the Alberta Conservation Association's website.
Come sample and discuss Scotch with an ACA expert during the free tasting event at HI Bar.
The Heritage Inn Banquet & Silent Auction takes place at the Taber Community Centre (4720 - 50 Street). The banquet is an opportunity to thank the participating landowners and sponsors, while also helping to raise funds for next year's festival. Space for this event is limited. Tickets are $50/person and are available on the Alberta Conservation Association's website.
In 2015, this event was awarded Travel Alberta's Alto Award for Outstanding Sustainable Tourism.
