Edmonton

Welcome to Edmonton, Canada’s Festival City, well known for its thriving arts and cultural community — also named Canada’s Cultural Capital for 2007. As Edmonton Festival City, we’re live all year with over 30 renowned music, arts and cultural festivals including the internationally renowned Folk, Fringe and Street Performers Festival.

Edmonton is one of Canada’s sunniest cities and with up to 17 hours of daylight in the summer. Check out our magnificent river valley with dozens of trails to explore. This urban parkland is 22 times larger than Central Park!

The region also boasts 40 plus attractions including art galleries, museums, zoos and historical sites. Just to name a few these attractions include: West Edmonton Mall, TELUS World of Science, Fort Edmonton Park, Art Gallery of Alberta and the Royal Alberta Museum.

Edmonton is a shopper’s haven and Alberta is the only province with no provincial sales tax!  Marvel at Alberta’s number one attraction West Edmonton Mall with over 800 stores & services and eight amazing attractions. Voted on as one of the 10 coolest neighbourhoods in Canada, visit Old Strathcona for eclectic shops, cafes, nightclubs, theatre and attractions. Plus, take a stroll through the 124 Street which encompasses the Gallery Walk district, the first of its kind in Canada.

On the town, Edmonton’s restaurants, theatres, concert halls, and nightspots swing into high gear. Be sure to catch all the action of an Edmonton Eskimos football game, an Edmonton Oilers NHL hockey game, a Cracker Cats baseball game, and our newest, Edmonton Rush lacrosse team — or the over 70 Edmonton and area golf courses that will challenge and delight any player.
