New twist on old favourite among midway offerings at 2025 Whoop-Up Days
Plenty of new food offerings will be available at this year's Whoop-Up Days—as well as a twist on a classic.
Instead of Jumbo Ears, this year Jumbo Bites will be available on the midway.
Each bag will be filled with smaller Jumbo Ear pieces.
They come with a choice of dip.
The Lethbridge and District Exhibition (LDE) says this will allow for consistent quality over the course of Whoop-Up Days.
New this year are dirty sodas and several different kinds of street corn.
The new additions make up what's being called 'Sixth Street Sweets.'
'When we survey people after Whoop-Up Days every year, food is always one of the top three reasons that people come to a fair,' said Paul Kingsmith, LDE event development director.
'It's something about that coming together.
'Food is just such a uniting factor in any facet of life, and I think that here—we're in an agriculture centre—it has even more of that.'
The last remaining streetcar that used to operate in Lethbridge will be set up on the midway as a centrepiece for Sixth Street Sweets.
Whoop-Up Days runs Aug. 19-23, noon to 11 p.m., and the Whoop-Up Wrap-Up is Aug. 24, noon to 7 p.m.
More information and tickets are available online.
