We went to
Heritage Days on holiday Monday, and as always it was lots of fun. In my opinion, this is the best festival Edmonton has to offer, the entire park is filled with pavilions and food tents, with dance and music demonstrations everywhere.
We parked at
Laurier Park in the zoo parking lot and walked over the footbridge to Hawrelak Park. The good thing about parking here is there is always lots of parking spots available. The bad thing is it is about a mile from parking lot to the bridge. On such a hot day, followed by walking around the festival for the rest of the day, it was a little long for the kids. If it was any cooler I think it would have been perfect, though. There was also public transit park and ride from lots of locations in Edmonton that delivered you right into the middle of the festival and bike parking for those who biked in.
The price of food seems to be going up at Heritage Days, Taiwan was charging 7 tickets (between $6 and $7) for bubble tea, which seemed excessive. We bought $38 worth of tickets for our family of 5 and it seemed sufficient, for several drinks and meals and snacks and a Chocolate Covered Banana from Peru for the kids.
