Edmonton Heritage Festival
The worlds largest three day celebration of multiculturalism.
DONATIONS NEEDED!
The Edmonton Heritage Festival Association board, staff and volunteers along with our cultural pavilions need your help.
We are looking for Edmontonians to come together to support the future of our festival by helping us recover from today’s major loss. Through this festival we support almost 70 cultural organizations with their annual activities and programming.
Typically, the Monday of the festival has the largest attendance and generates the most revenue. We ask for your support. All donated money will go towards offsetting revenue losses and will help ensure the festival is part of Edmonton’s summer celebrations for years to come.
100% of the donations received will be evenly distributed among the participating pavilions to help with losses incurred from the August 5th closure.
Donations accepted until October 1, 2024
Thank you for your patience and continued support.
About the Edmonton Heritage Festival
The Edmonton Heritage Festival is the world's largest three-day multiculturalism celebration. The festival showcases a diversity of cuisine, entertainment, interpretive materials, and crafts worldwide. There is no admission fees to enter or to watch the many cultural dances and folk music shows throughout the day. Attendees will be able to purchase various food made by the pavilions. Due to the renovations currently happening at our usual home of Hawrelak Park, the festival has been relocated to the Edmonton Exhibition Lands and Borden Parks.
Thank you for your interest in participating in the Edmonton Heritage Festival. We are not accepting further applications for 2024 for pavilions or performers and do not accept vendors on their own.
If you would like to apply for 2025, please email us in October so we can add you to our application recipient list.
Our Mission:
“To promote public awareness, understanding and appreciation for cultural diversity through an annual summer festival”
