Best time to visit Edmonton

The best time to visit Edmonton depends on your interests. If you are looking for warm weather and outdoor activities, then summer is the best time to go. The average temperature in Edmonton in July is 16°C (61°F), with highs of up to 22°C (72°F). There are also many festivals and events held in Edmonton during the summer, which is something to take into consideration.

However, if you are looking for lower prices and fewer crowds, then fall or spring may be a better time to visit. The weather in Edmonton is still mild during these seasons, with average temperatures ranging from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F). There are also fewer tourists during these seasons, so you can enjoy shorter lines and lower prices on accommodation and activities.

Winter in Edmonton can be very cold, with average temperatures ranging from -10°C to -20°C (14°F to -4°F). However, winter is also a great time to visit Edmonton if you are interested in winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating. The city has a number of ski resorts located within a short drive, and there are also many outdoor ice skating rinks located throughout the city.

Discover Edmonton

Edmonton is the capital of Alberta and widely regarded as one of Canada’s key urban centres. The city boasts a family friendly and fun atmosphere, with all ages being able to enjoy the city’s wide open spaces, festivals, museums and amazing shops.

Edmonton is a fantastic stopping point on an adventure to Western Canada; spend a few nights here on your way to or back from the spectacular Canadian Rockies. Edmonton is located near the idyllic North Saskatchewan River and is home to more than 22 parks and thousands of kilometres of trails. The city’s proximity to the Canadian Rockies also means you can enjoy the best of the Canadian West all in one holiday.

One of the things this unique destination is most famous for is the annual Edmonton Fringe Festival, which takes place each August and is the largest of its kind in North America. The city comes to life during the festival, with international and local performers lining the streets and filling the city’s theatres. We recommend taking a stroll around the city’s Old Strathcona district and seeing the street performers.
