Paintearth has a thriving and growing tourism industry. Attractions include ranch style bed & breakfasts, music festivals, rodeos, murals, recreational facilities and campgrounds, adventure and game hunting centres, and plenty of fun and exciting activities in the winter! And by partnering with tourism development agencies like the Canadian Badlands Ltd and Trail of the Buffalo, we continue to promote and enhance tourism opportunities in this culturally-rich section of Alberta.
The communities that make up the Paintearth region serve up a thriving, year-round arts and entertainment scene. Dance studios and societies can be found throughout the area. Both the Castor Little Theatre and Coronation Royal Performing Arts have been entertaining appreciative audiences in the area for many years. There are several regional museums and historic points of interest.
