The newest addition to the town is a series of paintings, including Shaping the Future, Project of the Heart, The Good Life, and Comforts Past, which were added in 2021.

Beyond the murals, you’ll also get to see all of Stony Plain and additional public art pieces like statues and sculptures. The wagons accommodate 14 people, so you can book for a large family group and make a summer outing of it, or plan a date away from the tours for you and a special someone.

Book your ride by calling Red Brick Common and choose from five selected Saturdays in July, August and September.

Rides often sell out quickly, so it’s best to book early. An online guide and map are available to help you explore at your own pace, making it easy to enjoy a self-guided walking tour and discover the highlights on your own schedule.
