The Edmonton Heritage Festival at Hawrelak Park has become a banner year for this year with three days of amazing weather. Jim Gibbon, executive director of the Edmonton Heritage Festival Association, said, "Is there always a newcomer to the festival? But what often brings people back to it is: world-class food, great culture and great people all around". The Edmonton Heritage Festival aims to promote "public awareness and understanding of cultural diversity".
Executive director Jim Gibbons said the festival has been held at Hawrelak Park for a long time but the green space will be expanded and maintained shortly after 2020, so the event may not be held there. Organizers are now exploring alternatives to where the festival may be headed in time.
