Arts Days is a month-long cultural festival that takes place every September across Lethbridge, Alberta (Sikóóhkotok). Organized by the Allied Arts Council, the event celebrates the region's diverse artistic talent through a series of public installations, performances, and community projects designed to make art accessible at the street level.

A central component of the festival is the "Downtown Lens" project, which pairs local artists with 13 downtown businesses to create custom window murals. This initiative effectively turns the city's commercial district into an outdoor gallery. In addition to visual arts, the festival programming includes walking tours, live music performances at Rotary Square, and collaborative community efforts such as the jingle dress project held at the end of the month.
