As summer winds down, Edmonton gathers by the water to soak up the last of the season with two days of live music, dancing, and community.

Down by the River is a unique open-air festival set in the beautiful Louise McKinney Riverfront Park—offering stunning views, lush greenery, and a carefully curated lineup of artists from across Canada and beyond.

Produced by The Factory Music & Arts, this all-ages celebration blends indie, folk, rock, and alternative sounds in a relaxed riverside setting. Bring a blanket, bring your friends, and enjoy a weekend of music in the heart of the city.
