K-Days
K-Days is an annual 10-day festival held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, typically in July. Originally known as the Edmonton Exhibition, it has a history dating back to 1879, making it one of the oldest festivals in Western Canada.
The festival's name has changed several times throughout its history. From its inception as the Edmonton Exhibition, it was renamed Klondike Days in 1964 to reflect the historical significance of the Klondike Gold Rush era. The name was shortened to K-Days in 2006.
K-Days features a variety of attractions and events, including amusement park rides, live music performances, agricultural displays, food vendors, and shopping opportunities. A parade traditionally kicks off the festival. The festival aims to celebrate Edmonton's heritage and community spirit, attracting locals and tourists alike. While the Klondike theme was initially prominent, the modern K-Days embraces a broader range of entertainment and cultural experiences.
