Welcome to Edmonton

Welcome to Alberta’s capital city, where the North Saskatchewan River flows through the heart of Canada’s sixth-largest metropolis along the largest stretch of urban parkland in North America; where numerous golf courses and an extensive network of hiking and biking trails thrill outdoor enthusiasts. While more than a million people call Greater Edmonton home, we haven’t lost our friendliness and warmly invite you to experience our contemporary conference facilities, accommodations, vibrant business climate, attractions, unique shopping, dining and entertainment while you’re here.

Whether your group numbers 18 or 18,000 — we’ve got you covered with theatre, banquet and reception rooms for your conference or special event. At the end of a productive day, more than 13,000 hotel guest rooms offer the rest, comfort and amenities you desire. When it comes to dining, our city is renowned for its homegrown chefs who happily play with their food and seek out locally-grown, farm-fresh Alberta meat and produce to create regional dishes that regularly bring home the trophies in international competition.

Our arts district brims with live entertainment, theatre, symphony and the new, architecturally stunning Art Gallery of Alberta. As well, Edmonton boasts more than 30 festivals each year where music, art, theatre, dance, performance and culinary art take centre stage including the internationally renowned Folk Music, Fringe Theatre and Street Performers Festivals. Our world-class attractions provide fun, historical, educational and natural insights into our region. Shoppers appreciate our funky Whyte Avenue boutiques, the fashion pulse of downtown Edmonton and world-famous West Edmonton Mall.

Come to Edmonton — we’re ready for you!
