Edmonton has an incredible festival season, giving the city a buzz of excitement and memories of live music, captivating performances and global flavours. As we start to pack away our lawn shain and reflect on the highlights, it’s the perfect time to think back at all the fun of the previous festival season and think about how we can make next year’s experience even better and smoother.
Behind every perfect festival day is a mountain of planning and preparation – leaving people overwhelmed or even not able to attend certain events. Let’s take a look back at the highlights of 2025 and how you can master the logistics for an even better festival season next year.
A Look Back at the 2025 YEG Festivals
YEG festivals are unforgettable! Edmonton is Canada’s festival city – hosting over 60 festivals yearly. While Edmonton’s festival scene doesn’t end when the weather gets cold, some of our most prominent festivals happen from May into August. Here were some of our highlights from things year’s summer festival schedule:
- The Unstoppable Energy of K-Days: From thrilling rides to the grandstand concerts of rock legends Bad Religion and Tom Morello and 90’s Pop Icons 98 Degrees, brought a classic summer thrill to the Edmonton EXPO Centre. A staple of the city’s summer events for over 145 years! Learn more about K-Days
- The Global Flavours of the Heritage Festival: Exhibition Grounds and Borden Park was a tapestry of culture, with pavilions offering delicious food and stunning performances from around the world. It’s a beautiful reminder of Edmonton’s incredible diversity. Learn more about Edmonton Heritage Festival
- The Creative Magic of the Edmonton Fringe Festival: North America’s largest and longest-running Fringe Festival delivered another year of unpredictable, boundary-pushing theatre that took over Old Strathcona with its unique energy. Learn more about the Fringe Festival
- The Rhythms of the Edmonton Folk Music Festival: Gallagher Park’s beautiful hill was filled with the iconic sounds of The Roots and Serena Ryder, and emerging artists, creating the signature, laid-back atmosphere we all love. Learn more about the Edmonton Folk Festival
The Unseen To-Do List of Festival Season
While the memories are priceless, the preparation can be taxing. Does this pre-festival checklist look familiar?
- Scrambling to buy tickets the moment they go on sale.
- Coordinating schedules with friends and family.
- Arranging for a babysitter or pet sitter.
- Making multiple trips to the store for snacks, drinks, sunscreen, and chairs.
- Planning transportation.
- Coming home, exhausted, to a house that needs unpacking and tidying.
This behind-the-scenes work is the part of the festival experience nobody talks about, but it can easily drain your energy before the fun even begins.
