2026 Festival Theme: Celebrating 30 Years 

This year’s Historic Festival & Doors Open Edmonton proudly celebrates its 30th birthday. The 2026 theme honours three decades of storytelling, community connection, and heritage preservation across the Edmonton region. Partners and participants are invited to reflect on milestones, memories, and moments that have shaped their organizations and communities, while looking ahead to the future of heritage, arts and culture. Through special events, tours and programming, the festival will celebrate the people, places and stories that have built this legacy — and those that will carry it forward for the next generation.
