Diversity and harmony celebrated at first Heritage Festival since pandemic delays

  EDMONTON The Heritage Festival returned for the first time since 2019 to complete the August long weekend in Edmonton. The three-day outdoor event celebrates cultures from across the globe who call the city home. “This is one of the most important events in Canada,” said Jim Gibbon, executive director for the festival. “So many cultures come together and we do it in peace and in harmony.” Gibbon said the festival hit its targeted attendance: half of a normal year’s turnout. Tony Surtida from the Philippines pavilion told CTV News Edmonton that the smaller crowds didn’t put a damper on the event.
