An absolute must if you are coming during the summer.
Edmonton is known as Festival City, for good reason. To compensate for the dreary, long and dull winter, the city comes alive with a bunch of festivals, one after another, from June to August.
The bigger ones are Children's Festival (St. Albert), Jazz City (downtown), The Works - visual works (downtown), Street Performers (downtown), Klondike Days - parade, fair, exhibition (throughout the city, mainly Northlands and downtown), Heritage Festival - multicultural celebration (Hawrelak Park), Folk Music Festival (Gallagher Hill), Fringe Festival - alternative theatre (Old Strathcona).
My personal favourites are Taste of Edmonton during K-Days, Heritage Festival, and Fringe Festival. Leave a Comment

 Fringe crowds ... by kymbanm
I have to say, half the fun is actually people watching ... some in costume after performing, some in costume just for fun, some not in costume ...... but look like they are :) Leave a Comment

There are so many festivals in Edmonton, no matter when you decide to visit you're sure to catch one. My personal favorites are the Edmonton folk music festival, Edmonton's Klondike Days, the Fringe theatre festival and the Street performers festival. Have fun! Leave a Comment

Best time to come to Edmonton is during the summer. For one thing, you miss the cold winters, and you are able to be here in time for all of the city's great summer festivals! Leave a Comment

Edmonton is transformed into a "festival city" in the summer time, and with mostly sunshine and lots of hot weather in late July/August, it is a great time to visit the city and take in the sights. These are my personal two favorite festivals, if you like music and theatre. The Fringe can be kind of hit and miss though depending on your tastes. It may be worth your while to ask around about certain performances, and make sure you are prepared for some less than moralistic plays - some which might be considered absolutely absurd! All in the name of artistic impression, I'm afraid... All kidding aside, it is very affordable to take in some of this Edmonton blended culture, and a good idea to do so, because in the winter YOU'LL BE SHUT IN BY THE EXTREME WEATHER FOR A FEW MONTHS!! :) Leave a Comment
