Discover Edmonton
Welcome to Edmonton, Canada’s Festival City. From the continent’s first, biggest and wildest Fringe Theatre Festival to Flying Canoë Volant, a winter festival inspired by French Canadian, First Nations and Métis traditions – there’s no shortage of excitement to fill your stay. Edmonton is a craft beer, vintage store, secret-underground-bar kind of city that’s known for iconic attractions and immersive cultural experiences. With one of the finest culinary scenes in the country, we invite you to come hungry for food, adventure, or both. Experience what 18 hours of sunlight a day feels like in the summer, or how the first snowfall transforms the river valley in winter. There’s a uniqueness to how Edmontonians do things, and we welcome you to be a part of it.
