The primary economic base of the town is agricultural. A large percentage of Vegreville's population is of Ukrainian Canadian descent. The world's largest pysanka (Ukrainian Easter egg) was created to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1974 and to celebrate Vegreville's ethnic heritage. The Pysanka will be one of four roadside attractions featured on the first series of the Canadian Roadside Attractions Series to be issued by Canada Post stamps on July 6, 2009.
