Venue
Edmonton
From Flying Canoes and Folk Festivals to an eclectic arts and culture scene, Edmonton is a place that wants you to join in, not sit on the sidelines. Take your taste buds on a journey to one of the finest culinary scenes in the country, then experience the glory of the northern lights from our dark sky preserves. Here, you’ll find bison in your backyard and nightlife at your doorstep. We pack local theatres at indie productions and the aisles of Rogers Place at headlining acts. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Indigenous heritage through authentic experiences that share captivating stories of this land, its people, and their cultures. With over 160 kms of river valley trails, it’s easy to get away from it all in the heart of the city.
