About Gallagher Park

Gallagher Park is a premier public river-valley festival site in Edmonton, known as the longstanding home of the Edmonton Folk Music Festival since 1981. Perched above the North Saskatchewan River, the park combines natural amphitheater seating with expansive lawn areas, offering a unique outdoor concert experience for up to around 15,000 attendees per day during festival season. With no fixed seating, visitors bring blankets or low-profile chairs and enjoy the scenic surroundings, hillside views, and vibrant performances.

Whether you’re planning a day of music, a weekend festival, or a special outdoor event, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, access, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options to make your visit easy and enjoyable.

For a smooth experience, consider transit options and Park & Ride services, especially since Gallagher Park does not offer on-site parking. Accessible parking is available near the main gate, and bike lock-up is available for cyclists. When planning overnight stays, explore affiliate options at nearby hotels like Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, The Westin Edmonton, and Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton Downtown for convenient access to the downtown core and easy return from festival days. The park also hosts winter activity as a ski hill with the Edmonton Ski Club, reflecting its flexible use beyond concert seasons.

Secure your seats and plan ahead with our insider tips: check the latest lineup and schedule, arrive early to enjoy the surroundings, and rely on public transit and Park & Ride to minimize hassle. We’ve got you covered with all the essential details to help you enjoy Gallagher Park the right way.
