edmonton We are the City of Festivals
So we’ve created the award winning Edmonton Festival City in a Box to give you a sampling, a hearty tidbit, of the more than 30 festivals we unleash each year. Edmonton Festival City in a Box is a unique, eye-opening experience integrating festival theming with keynote speakers, breakout sessions, dÊcor and the Edmonton Festival City Road Show all designed to entertain and surprise your guests. The show can be customized with various performances for a run-time of 30- to 60-minutes based on your requirements. We can create a festival showcase for you, or you may want to flex your own creative muscles. Customize your own Edmonton Festival City in a Box experience using some of our existing tools.
“ Working with Edmonton Tourism and being able to show off just a small portion of our arts and culture to this fine country we live in made us such fine ambassadors of hospitality that you could hear the buzz long after the conference was over. The conference was so successful, memorable and magical we are still receiving accolades months after the fact. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” – Terry Josey, Stage Producer ARPA/CPRA Conference
