I Heart Edmonton

Edmonton's biggest and oldest summer festival is back with exciting new rides, foods, a nd live mus ic! by emil tiedemann S UMMERTIME in Edmonton just wouldn't be the same without K-Days . For 10 days and nights every July, visitors and locals alike congregate at Northlands for the sites, sounds, and tastes of what has become our longest tradition here in Edmonton (since 1879). If you're from Edmonton, you've been to K-Days! This Ferris Wheel is just one of the 53 rides at this year's K-Days (July 22-31)!

After all, red socks are bright and bold and stand out no matter what they are worn with – at the same time, they do indeed

From theatres t o skyscrapers, Edmonton i s evolving into a world class metro right before our eyes! by emil tiedemann Y OU'D never know that Alberta has been in an eco nomic downturn for some time now, especially if you l ive and work here in Edmonton. It's hard to keep track of every thing that is happening in ou r city, in terms of development or redevelopment.  Ice District in downtown Edmonton In every corner of the city - although es pecially in the central area - you'll notice new buildings, towers, bridges, and even a funicular(!), whatever that is. Edmonton is booming with mu lt i -million and even billion dollar projects everywhere we turn .  And I don't just mean the obvio us Ice District in the downtown core , nope! There are condo towers popping up all over the city, renos and expansions to current structures, or brand new facilities replacing old ones ; not to mention the countless restaur ants, shops, th eatres, and cafes filling up r
