Silver Skate Festival is Edmonton’s oldest winter festival, a 10-day long sport, art, culture, and recreation extravaganza for the whole family. For the last 28 years, for 10 days every February the whole town celebrates winter and welcomes visitors from all over North America and beyond. People come to enjoy the sculpture garden, try their hand at jam-can curling, watch the skate racers at the Kortebaan, check out the Capital Classic Hockey Tournament, or wander along the frozen Silver Skate Folk Trails. As the sun goes down, Night Works begins and the musicians and street performers take over the streets.
