Edmonton Heritage Festival
July 30, 2016 @ 12:00 pm - August 1, 2016 @ 7:00 pm
Admission is FREE, but a donation for Edmonton’s Food Bank would be appreciated.
The Servus Heritage Festival is the place to be during the August long-weekend. Nestled in Edmonton’s scenic river valley, bordered by lush ravines and the North Saskatchewan River, the Festival draws visitors from around the Edmonton capital region and across the continent to spend some time sampling the tastes, smells, sights, and sounds of a diverse array of cultures.
Approximately 60 pavilions representing over eighty-five cultures from all over the world will be part of this incredible celebration. Sample culinary delicacies, see creative performances, shop for crafts, artwork, and clothing, or chat with people eager to tell you a little about their cultural roots and their present-day communities in Canada.
We are proud to present a celebration of Canada’s renowned multicultural spirit in an atmosphere of tolerance. In spite of events that may be taking place on the international stage, local cultural associations have the foresight to look beyond sometimes centuries-old disagreements, co-exist peacefully for three days in the idyllic setting of Edmonton’s River Valley, and share with visitors, and with each other, those traditions that make their people unique.
Admission is FREE, but a donation for Edmonton’s Food Bank would be appreciated.
Note that there is no public parking in Hawrelak Park during the Festival. Bikes welcome or take ETS. Please leave your dog at home. No dogs allowed.
