About Us

On the 13 of May 2008 The Edmonton Klondike Days Association (EKDA) became Events Edmonton. The Edmonton Klondike Days Association has produced and promoted downtown events in association with Klondike Days since 1963 with the inception of Sunday in the City. As these events expanded and became more popular so did the role of the Association.

Over the years the Association has developed a reputation as an innovator in festival production. The very popular A Taste of Edmonton was born 24 years ago. In 2003 Events Edmonton was honoured to produce the largest fireworks display in Western Canada to kick off Edmonton’s Centennial celebrations. It was staged as part of the New Year’s Eve Downtown Festival which has been designated an official civic celebration. These successes lead to an invitation to co-produce the Provincial Centennial celebrations in 2004 and the Canada Day fireworks in 2005.

The mission of Events Edmonton will be to become Edmonton’s premier non-profit producer of festival events showcasing the culture and spirit of the people of Edmonton. We will:

• deliver events on a year-round basis for the benefit of the citizens of Edmonton
• further enhance the city’s image as a great place to live and a desirable tourist destination through the production of world class events
• engage the volunteer spirit and talents of the people of Edmonton in the design, production and delivery of these events

Events Edmonton looks forward to many years of producing major festivals and events that make Edmonton a destination of choice, and a City to be proud of.
