Edmonton is the northernmost city in North America which makes for a pretty unique experience. We know how to entertain ourselves and grind through long winter nights. Catch us dancing in the River valley at winter festivals in -30 degree weather, embracing the festivities. On the other hand, we appreciate our long summer days with a type of zealousness you can only find here. We embrace creatives and push the boundaries in our art scene. There is always something fun to do here and you never have to look far!
