For 2019 the Feast of Tabernacles is returning to Cochrane, Alberta. Cochrane is nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains between Calgary and Banff and is a recreation playground for families, adventure enthusiasts and those seeking rest and relaxation in a beautiful natural setting. If you wish to experience the Rocky Mountains, Banff National Park is only a one-hour drive, Lake Louise is 1 hour 40 minutes, making it an easy afternoon trip after services.  

Cochrane combines a proud western heritage with spectacular vistas of the rolling foothills and the majestic Rocky Mountains with all the modern conveniences required for a great Feast. 

Cochrane has something for everyone, from quad rentals, to hiking through original ranch country, to spending the day enjoying quaint shops, boutiques, dining establishments and the Spray Lakes Aquatic center and climbing wall. Or you can spend the afternoon visiting the galleries enjoying the talents of a number of recognized artisans, musicians and writers that call Cochrane home.  

The Feast site is only 20 minutes from the city of Calgary. 

Calgary attractions include the famous Calgary Zoo, Heritage Park with its historic buildings and car museum, the world-class Glenbow Museum, the Telus Science Center and of course the shopping.   

Cochrane is a half hour from the Calgary airport.
