Edmonton - Capital EX ( formerly Klondike Days)

The greatest event in Edmonton's calendar is the ten-day festival known as Capital EX, formerly called Klondike Day, held every year at the end of July. The wild days of the Klondike Gold-rush of 1890 come to life once more. The citizens act out the pioneer period and don the clothes of the late 1890s. Street-parties, dancing, parades, live entertainment, and gold-panning competitions liven up the whole city.

Some of the entertainment includes chuckwagon races, an RCMP Musical Ride, fireworks, and of course a midway.

Visitors planning on being in Edmonton during the Capital EX should be sure to book accommodation well in advance.
