  Edmonton “Festival City” hosts more than 30 major festivals throughout the year that attract visitors from all over the world, including internationally-acclaimed events such as the Edmonton Folk Music Festival and the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival. Lovers of music, art, theatre, dance, performance and culinary art will find satisfaction here. As well, the best buckaroos in the country vie for bragging rights and a big payday atop bucking broncs and bulls at the Canadian Finals Rodeo, where the western lifestyle and cowboy culture come alive every November at Rexall Place. If you’re up for a sprinkle of outdoors magic, enjoy some Bard in the park at the Freewill Shakespeare Festival, or the heavenly strains of Symphony Under The Sky with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Edmonton’s festival roster doesn’t hibernate during winter, either. The Canadian Birkebeiner Ski Festival injects big fun into the frostier weather while seasonal favourites like BrightNights — a spectacular light show of Christmas and holiday scenes — ushers in the holidays.
