Edmonton Shines with Boots and Hearts Fest and More This Weekend

This weekend is shaping up to be a treat for Edmonton residents and visitors alike. The renowned Boots and Hearts Music Festival is coming to town, featuring musical icons Russell Dickerson and Shaboozey as headliners.

The festival will take place at the Fan Park at ICE District on August 28-29, with ticket prices varying depending on the package chosen. For those who prefer a more low-key evening, the Opera al Fresco event is also happening this week, featuring Edmonton Opera soloists and the Edmonton Opera Chorus performing familiar favorites in the beautiful University of Alberta Botanic Garden.

Other events taking place around the city include a pro wrestling match at The Rec Room South Common, a 90-minute riverboat cruise offering stunning views of the city skyline, and a visit to Fort Edmonton Park to experience the history of the area through interactive exhibits and recreations. For those with families or looking for something fun to do on their own, the Edmonton Corn Maze is open until October 25, featuring a brand new design this season.
