Edmonton’s North Saskatchewan River Valley and Downtown

Canada’s festival City awaits you!

No matter when you hold your event in Edmonton, you will be surrounded by one of the 30 major festivals that celebrate the arts, sports, film, winter and theatre year-round. What better way to get to know Alberta’s capital city. There’s something new to enjoy everywhere you turn, no matter the season. Talk about diverse facilities: how about Canada’s largest living history museum, an art gallery with its sweeping ribbons of steel mimicking the Northern Lights, or a river boat paddling the North Saskatchewan River? For something more down to earth, Edmonton has Canada’s largest exhibition facility west of Toronto as well as an award-winning convention centre offering unforgettable cuisine and vistas of North America’s largest urban parkland. Our city’s 13,000 hotel rooms offer the comfort you desire. We stand ready to help you put together pre and post-event programs that showcase why TripAdvisor called us a top 10 family-friendly Canadian destination. We are home to some of the country’s best eateries, and an unparalleled arts and culture scene. And ask us about how you can take advantage of two programs that inject local content and social responsibility into your event. Let us show you why Edmonton should host your next event.

AlbertA legislAture celebrAtes centenniAl in 2012Downtown Edmonton is everyone’s neighbourhood, a place to gather, to celebrate and mark milestones, such as this year’s 100th anniversary of the Alberta Legislature building, a living architectural monument in the grand Beaux Arts style, which first opened its doors on Sept. 3, 1912.

Its lobby is one of the best remaining examples of art deco style in Canada, with six types of marble, nickel-plated doors and decorative light fixtures. Already a new carillon can be heard daily at noon and 6 p.m. as it strikes the Westminster Chime on the hour followed by 15 minutes of musical selections.

To mark the centennial, the City of Edmonton is investing $17.6 million to transform a five block stretch of 108th Street downtown — overlooking the scenic Legislature — into Capital Boulevard, a ceremonial street inspired by world famous public spaces in Washington D.C., Rome, Moscow and London.

Capital Boulevard will connect to a new landscaped Government of Alberta public plaza being built south of 99th Avenue. The new plaza promises to further open up the legislature grounds to visitors, creating an area Albertans and visitors can enjoy year-round, with 100 fountains in summer, a public outdoor Olympic-sized skating rink in winter, and abundant green spaces to represent Alberta’s six eco-zones (Boreal Forest, Rocky Mountains, Foothills, Parkland, Grassland and Canadian Shield).

Also consider giving your gathering a tasty, distinctive flavour with entrees prepared from locally grown, farm-fresh favourites. Two-thirds of Alberta ranches raise cattle that has won a global following for their rich, flavourful grain-fed meat. Central Alberta has grown into a hub for cheese makers and dairy farmers; market gardens harvest produce such as squash and potatoes; and rich fields to the south of Edmonton yield canola, wheat, corn and berries.
