Silver Skate Festival

Edmonton’s longest-running winter festival returns!

The Silver Skate Festival is a free 10-day, family-oriented festival that combines culture, art, education, sport, and recreation. Rediscover the joy of a childhood snowfall, or experience that joy for the first time!

Feel the breeze on your face as you glide along the city’s largest skating pond. Marvel at the Snow Sculpture Garden. Be dazzled by roving performers on the Folk Trail, and stand in awe of the nightly Fire Sculpture burn.

Let’s embrace our environment! Winter is magic.
