Host City
Home to almost a million residents, Edmonton is a bustling northern metropolis that is an ideal vacation destination.
As Canada’s ‘Festival City’, Edmonton hosts over thirty annual festivals throughout the year—no matter when you visit, you’ll be sure to catch something special. From the summertime blitz of music, theatre, and culture festivals to Canadian Finals Rodeo in the fall, the Birkebeiner ski festival in the winter, to the Nextfest’s showcasing of youth arts and music, the celebrations never cease.
But even if you’re not going to festivals, you’ll find much to take in from Edmonton’s bustling arts and culture scene. From Mozart and chamber music to experimental jazz and DJs, Edmonton’s music scene is lively and diverse. We’re also home to the more theatres per capita than anywhere else in Canada. And from the breadth of Art Gallery of Alberta’s international and provincial collection to the artist-run Latitude 53 and the 124st Gallery Walk, art lovers will be busy.
Use Edmonton as your base for exploring all that the northern Alberta outdoors has to offer! Without having to repack your bags, you can day trip to rich historical sites, exceptional wildlife, and world-class outdoor recreational facilities—including over seventy golf courses! If you stay in town, you can forget that you’re in a city at all by spending some time in the lush greenery of Edmonton’s river valley. There you’ll find the Valley Zoo and the botanical landmark of the Muttart Conservatory’s four glass pyramids.
