 1. Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival

10330 - 84 Ave
Edmonton, AB T6E 2G9
(780) 448-9000
5.0 star rating
  8/10/2011

I've heard that the Edmonton Fringe is supposed to be the best fringe festival in North American, and second in the world only to Edinburgh... and I believe it. I've been a Fringe patron for a number of years, and a volunteer once, and everything…More »

 2. Edmonton Folk Music Festival

10115 97A Avenue NW
Edmonton, AB T5K 2T3
(780) 429-1899
5.0 star rating
  8/5/2011

The Edmonton Folk Fest is almost certainly the best deal in town for live music. The cost of a 4-day weekend pass (transferable or not) is on par with the price of a decent seat at a concert at Rexall. Add to that a consistently fantastic festival,…More »

Edmonton, AB T5H 3J6

4.0 star rating
  8/8/2011 First to Review

I haven't taken in the whole Cariwest festival yet, but I've been to the parade a few times now. It's not the most punctual parade, but the costumes make the wait worthwhile. 20 foot high costumes, bright colours, dancing... probably my favourite…More »

 4. Edmonton Heritage Festival

Hawrelak Park
Edmonton, AB T5J 1W5
(780) 488-3378
4.0 star rating
  8/2/2011

The Heritage Festival is mostly about eating your way around the world, although the performances and the arts and crafts tents are great too.

The festival is probably best enjoyed with a bunch of friends, an empty stomach, and a lot of tickets, to…More »

 5. Ice on Whyte

85 Ave. & 104 St.
Edmonton, AB T6E
(780) 437-4182
4.0 star rating
  8/18/2011

Edmonton's summer festivals are definitely fantastic, but there's still stuff to see in the winter too. Ice on Whyte is a fun way to get some fresh air in the winter too.

Admission is $2, there's hot chocolate, and if you're feeling like a kid, you…More »

Edmonton, AB T5J 1W5
(780) 423-5066

Category: Parks

5.0 star rating
  8/30/2011

Best park in Edmonton? I think so. A huge park in our lovely river valley, with trails coming in from a bunch of different directions. There are all kinds of great festivals and events going on here year-round. It's also a great spot for barbecues in…More »

Category: Local Flavour

5.0 star rating
  4/16/2012

Tix on the Square is a Ticketmaster outlet, but they also sell (and print) tickets for a lot of local events. Their website is a great listing of what's on, and the staff are really helpful for your various ticket related needs.

They also have a lot…More »
