The people of Greater Edmonton are physically connected to each other by streets, sidewalks and bridges. We are also united culturally through our sports teams, the arts, local media and — uniquely to Edmonton — by the range, depth and variety of our festival scene.

* Music: Edmonton’s live music festival lineup includes Edmonton’s Labatt Blues Festival, Symphony Under The Sky, Yardbird Jazz Festival and the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, which is one of North America’s leading folk festivals.
* Performances: Celebrate live theatre, dance and film, including the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival, which is the world’s second-largest fringe festival, feats Festival of Dance, the Edmonton International Film Festival, and many others.
