We are expected to return to Hawrelak Park in 2026.
In 2019 the Edmonton Heritage Festival Association created a committee to investigate a temporary home for the festival. We produced a list of sites and forwarded them to to City of Edmonton staff and have been working dilligently since, trying to find a home.
The temporary home for Heritagefest will be at Edmonton EXPO Centre & Exhibition Grounds!
The Festival opens the August 2, celebrating its 52nd Anniversary!
This summer, Heritage Festival will be at the Edmonton Exhibition Lands, Borden Park, and Expo Centre. Dates will be August 2-4, 2025
