The music will bring the people.

The Heart of the City Music & Arts Festival is a free, family-friendly celebration of music and arts, driven by dedicated volunteers, from community members to industry professionals, who believe in uplifting local talent. 

 

For over 20 years, our festival has provided a stage for emerging artists from Edmonton’s inner city, amplifying their voices and fostering a welcoming space for creative expression. Together, we’re building a vibrant cultural community where music, poetry, and performance bring people together.
