Christmas Comes Early to Edmonton, Canada’s Festival City
Four versatile festivals in Canada’s Festival City Edmonton launch the 2009 holiday season
Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) November 9, 2009 -- Well known for its abundance of festivals in Edmonton, this popular Western Canada city has announced four unique festivals taking place in November to enhance a visit to the city for holiday shopping, visiting friends and much more.
The 28th Annual Global Visions Film Festival, November 5 - 8, 2009, is an annual festival which shines a light on the work of passionate, accomplished documentarians from Canada and around the world. Highlights this year include (among many others) Broke, set in a pawnshop in Edmonton's inner city. Prom Night In Mississippi, which tells the story of when Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman offered to finance his hometown's high school prom, on one condition: both black and white students be allowed to attend, is also featured during the Global Visions Film Festival. For more information visit www.globalvisionsfestival.com.
For those who like life on the "wild" side, November also offers the Canadian Finals Rodeo, November 11 - 15 in Rexall Place and the Farmfair International, November 6 - 15 at Northlands. The global livestock industry considers Farmfair International the preferred business destination while the general public can take advantage of a one-of-a-kind Christmas shopping opportunity during the Dodge City Western Trade and Gift Show, as well as delicious samplings of strictly Alberta-made goodies, during the Home Grown Alberta Event. Experience all that these two festivals have to offer in Edmonton, Alberta, the festival city capital of Canada by visiting www.canadianfinalsrodeo.com and www.farmfairinternational.com.
Edmonton’s Festival of Trees celebrates its 25th anniversary with 100 unique trees at this year’s festival November 26-29 at the Shaw Conference Centre, featuring stunning handiwork, months in the making by the dedicated Tree Festival committee. “The creativity is amazing," says Lori Martens, 2009 Festival of Trees publicity chair. "For example, this year, we've got a Sesame Street tree, a polar bear tree and an upside-down tree that is fabulous. There's something for everybody. Some are traditional, some are elegant, some are simply fun."
