Edmonton Heritage Festival
Main page content begins here
Edmonton Heritage Festival is an annual showcase and celebration of Canada's vibrant multicultural heritage. Take ETS to this year’s Festival with non-stop, direct service during the event.

ETS provides Park & Ride shuttle service to Hawrelak Park from various sites on all 3 days. There are 2 new sites this year: Heritage Valley and Nakî transit centres.

Make sure to have your Special Event fare ready ($6 cash, other options outlined below) for your 2-way trip to/from Hawrelak Park.

Don’t forget:

Masks are still mandatory on transit. If it’s not a reusable mask, please dispose of it properly once you’ve completed your transit journey.
To enter Hawrelak Park, you must present a Timed-Entry Pass (available now for free on Eventbrite).
Visitors will not be able to enter without a Timed-Entry Pass.
While only a fixed number of people will be allowed into the park per hour, you can stay in the park as long as you like once you are inside.
Passes will be scanned at the main entrance, the bus entrance and the bridge entrance.
To decrease person to person interaction, there will be no food tickets for sale. To purchase your favourite snack, meal, or treat at the festival, you will need to use credit/debit at the pavilion.
