Beer Festival
If ever there was a self-explanatory festival, it’s this one. Beer, the consuming of beer and the identification of potentially favourite new beers is the purpose behind the Edmonton Annual International Beerfest, now in its seventh year. Over 200 varieties of the yummy beverages will be available for tasting, with many of the city’s most popular beer-serving establishments represented, and there will be a whole new lineup of entertainment. As you might expect, the event has sold out six years straight, so get your tickets early. When: Friday, April 26 from 4 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., Saturday, April 27 from 3 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Where: Shaw Conference Centre, 9797 Jasper Ave. Admission: $19 to $65, available at the website.
