#308 Your Guide to the Edmonton Heritage Festival

The Edmonton Heritage Festival returns to Hawrelak Park with fresh upgrades, new groups, and the same unmatched feeling of a city coming together. We talk with Rob from the Edmonton Heritage Festival Association and Scott Murray from presenting sponsor Robertson College about access, activations, and how to plan a full day that goes beyond the food. Here's what they get into:• What “success” looks like for a presenting partner through real community connection • Why returning to Hawrelak Park feels like a homecoming for Edmontonians • What stays the same on site and what changes with access this year • How ETS park and ride helps you get to the grounds • Robertson College’s on-site space to relax, charge your phone, and reset • Why the festival’s real value is learning through conversation with volunteers and performers • How to plan the quintessential first-time visit by spending a full day exploring pavilions • Why rain does not stop the festival and can even mean lighter crowds • Supporting the Edmonton Food Bank with cash or non-perishable donations Remember to check out the Heritage Festival from August 1st till 3rd at the Hawrelak Park right here in Edmonton.
