Thinking about moving to Edmonton? Wondering why so many people say summer is the best time to live here? This episode is your ultimate guide to everything that makes Edmonton one of Canada's most exciting cities during festival season.

In this week's episode of Real Estate in Edmonton – Where We Talk Real Estate and Real Life, Devin and Tracie take you beyond the housing market and into the heart of what makes Edmonton such an incredible place to call home.

From the long-awaited reopening of Hawrelak Park to world-famous festivals, incredible food, outdoor concerts, comedy, theatre, art, culture and family events, we explore why Edmontonians pack an entire year's worth of fun into just eight short weeks every summer.

Along the way, we share personal stories, debate which weird K-Days food we'd actually eat (deep-fried butter Oreos, anyone?), talk about our favourite festivals, and explain why Edmonton's incredible community events are one of the reasons people choose to live—and stay—here.

This episode also pays tribute to Brian Paisley, whose vision helped launch the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival in 1982. Brian's passion transformed Edmonton into the home of North America's oldest and largest Fringe Festival and helped cement our city's reputation as Festival City. His legacy continues to inspire artists and audiences from around the world.
