Known as "Canada's Festival City", Edmonton hosts a number of events each summer, including the Edmonton Klondike Days and Heritage Festival. For fans of performance art and music there are The Fringe Theatre Festival, The Works, and Jazz City. Of special interest to fans of rodeos, Edmonton hosts the season-ending championship Canadian Finals Rodeo every November.
The North Saskatchewan River flows through the city and numerous bridges provide access to dozens of parks, golf courses and woodland trails popular with hikers, joggers and cyclists.
Visitors will find a wonderland of indoor marvels at West Edmonton Mall. Sprawling over the equivalent of 48 city blocks, the mall boasts the world's largest indoor amusement park, computer-run wave pool, full-size replica of Columbus's Santa Maria, a golf course, an NHL-size skating rink and a lagoon with leaping dolphins. There are restaurants, theatres, and as many stores and boutiques as you could possibly want. |
