Stettler's Pheasant Festival

The Stettler Pheasant Festival is a multifaceted event including hunting, a banquet, volunteer opportunities, and conservation.

In 2014, Canadian Badlands Tourism as well as the Stettler Regional Board of Trade and Community Development and a committee of volunteers combined efforts to bring the inaugural Pheasant Festival to Stettler. The festival was successful with 30 land sites, 2000 pheasants and over 600 hunters visiting our area. Many of the visitors to the festival either extended their visit, or returned for future visits to the area.

We want residents to know there are still opportunities available to hunt, attend the banquette and volunteer. Please shoot us an email if any of these opportunities peak your interest!

Shop Stettler is ramping up again. With only 82 sleeps till the big man in red comes this is peak retail time for many of our businesses. Keeping shopping in town is the goal of Shop Stettler and we will have a representative visiting you soon to go over this year's program.
