It celebrates Edmonton’s vast and vibrant communities, displaying each community’s culture through their history, song, food and dance.

The festival will be a little different this time around than in previous years, requiring reserved timed entry onto the grounds due to capacity limits. You can snag your free tickets here.

Visitors without a timed-entry pass will not be allowed in, but those with a pass can stay on the grounds as long as they’d like once inside.

Also, to help reduce person-to-person interaction, there will be no food tickets for sale, with food and goods available for purchase directly from the pavilions by credit or debit only.
