HERITAGE FESTIVAL is a collection of Alberta-based cultural groups that come together, annually, to share their history, song, dance and food with the world. They supply all the songs, dance, crafts and music. Heritage Festival is facilitated by the Edmonton Heritage Festival Association. It is overseen by its Board of Directors and managed by a small staff.
