Come discover your traveling spirit with light, music, dance and legends! …

In order to contribute to a dynamic winter city, the Flying Canoe Flying is a cultural, creative and interactive event designed to celebrate the local history and magic of a long winter night.

Inspired by the legend of La Chasse-galerie d’Honoré Beaugrand, this event showcases the culture and traditions of the First Nations, French-Canadian and Métis peoples and celebrates the beauty of the Mill Creek ravine and the new Francophone Quarter in Edmonton.
