The Edmonton Heritage Festival Association announced that Heritage Festival fans can now use their App for this year’s event.
“Wait no longer! Download our app. We’ve been getting rave reviews. Comes with lots of great features like real time GPS (where in the park am I?), search by pavilion name or food type (who has green onion cakes?) and locate important places (I need an ATM). For iphone http://bit.ly/1mUKcL3, or google http://bit.ly/1okwFcB,” the association said on Facebook.
About the Festival:
The Servus Heritage Festival is the place to be during the August long-weekend. Nestled in Edmonton’s scenic river valley, bordered by lush ravines and the North Saskatchewan River, the Festival draws visitors from around the Edmonton capital region and across the continent to spend some time sampling the tastes, smells, sights, and sounds of a diverse array of cultures.
Servus Heritage Festival 2014 marks the 39th annual edition of this premier three-day showcase of Canada’s vibrant multicultural heritage. We will feature 60 pavilions representing over eighty-five cultures from all over the world. Sample culinary delicacies, see creative performances, shop for crafts, artwork, and clothing, or chat with people eager to tell you a little about their cultural roots and their present-day communities in Canada.
We are proud to present a celebration of Canada’s renowned multicultural spirit in an atmosphere of tolerance. In spite of events that may be taking place on the international stage, local cultural associations have the foresight to look beyond sometimes centuries-old disagreements, co-exist peacefully for three days in the idyllic setting of Edmonton’s River Valley, and share with visitors, and with each other, those traditions that make their people unique.
Come Savour! in Hawrelak Park August 2nd , August 3rd , & August 4th.
