Edmonton Heritage Festival - August 1, 2009

Here are some of the sights and sounds from the Edmonton Heritage Festival shot on my iPhone 3G using Cycorder. The 3 day event showcases Canada's vibrant multicultural heritage. 62 pavilions are set up - and they represent 80 cultures. You can sample culinary delicacies, see creative performances, shop for crafts, artwork, and clothing, or chat with people eager to tell you a little about their cultural roots and their present-day communities in Canada.

@Loveforever9Ouran But then, they had a Native American stand at 2K10. I gave a lot of things a try that time. In '09, I was a bit reluctant to try what was new.

But damn, those guys at the Italian booth... They can serve pasta lukewarm and it still tastes like a little bit of God.

LOL. Yess. I didn't get that. To be honest. They should of had some pemmican. .____.; That's the only thing remotely ethnic.

@Loveforever9Ouran I remember Heritagefest '09... What I don't understand is how people lined up just to get poutine at the Canadian pavilion, since you can get pretty much anywhere. :P Nanaimo Bars are a fair bit harder to find if no-one in your family bakes, but butter tarts are pretty simple to find.

No, Alex tried to represent Canada's culture individually and uniformly BECAUSE we are so cultural.

The Canadian tent I think was created to represent mixed races(half breeds) because all the other tents were all homogenous cultures

[Loveforever9Ouran]

At least you weren't doing the Canadian tent with the food line up. -_- It was soooooo busy when I had to take over the stand! I got a 45 min break at least. Did you go?
