This is an annual event in Edmonton, with this year's being the 24th. This is a 3 day festival down in Hawrelak Park (which I wish the city would rename back to Mayfair Park, so that out-of-towner's would have a clue as to what to expect of it). The festival celebrates the multicultural heritage of Edmonton. There are pavilions from a few dozen of the ethnic groups in the city. Most pavilions offer ethnic food, and many also put on periodic shows, usually dance and music, and usually in full costume. This year's attendance was a quarter million. I didn't go right down this year, as I have in previous years, so I didn't stuff myself with a wonderful variety of eatables. Instead, I walked along the western part of Saskatchewan Drive, which overlooks the park and took pictures from a couple of viewpoints.
