Explore Edmonton!

Edmonton knows how to have fun! With a vibrant arts and cultural scene, Canada’s “Festival City” is always celebrating something, from music, film, and theatre, to heritage, food, accordions, dragon boats, and even winter. With over 30 festivals throughout the year, it’s easy to find a reason to celebrate.

Locals escape the urban bustle without leaving the city in the parks and pathways winding along the river – the longest stretch of urban parkland on the continent. In the summer, you can check out an outdoor festival, or hike, bike or blade along 150 km of trails. You can also tee off on one of the valley’s many golf courses.

Festivals. River valley. Arts. History. Giant mall. There are plenty of things to keep you busy while you Explore Edmonton!
