Travel Alberta: Signature events return to Jasper

Celebrity chefs, music, food/drink and unique gala events returning to Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge this year.
 

If you've never been to the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, (JPL), the luxury cabin experience in the heart of the Canadian Rockies is an unforgettable treat, to be sure. If you have been, you already know the beauty and grandeur that is on offer through the property's signature events, ones that have been sidelined during the pandemic.

But Hallelujah! these awesome experiences are back. From gorgeous symphonic music under the sun and stars, to culinary extravaganzas, everyone is invited to the 2022-23 season of special celebrations in an amazing, scenic setting. If there's a birthday or anniversary, family gathering, girl's weekend or 'just because' on the horizon, consider taking in one or more of these wonderful events, right in our own backyard at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. Here's a look at the lineup.

Symphony Under the Sun, June 28, 2022 Experience the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra performing on the shores of pristine Lac Beauvert. Amplified by the surrounding Rocky Mountains and shimmering sun as the backdrop, tickets for the concert start from $159 CAD pp. Packages that include dinner and VIP preferred seating are also available.   Bubbles on Beauvert, July 9 and August 13, 2022 Back by popular demand, summer evenings will pop as the JPL team pays homage to the resort’s 100 years of history during Bubbles on Beauvert. The JPL's July 9 event is a Prohibition-era party, paying homage to the decade the lodge first opened its doors. Put on your fringe-dress and bowler hats and celebrate!  August 13 is all about old Hollywood glamour, as the lodge pays tribute to the actors and films that took place in Jasper over the decades. Are you feeling Gatsby-like? Bring your best Hollywood glam look and enjoy the bubbles to this festive evening.
