Greater Edmonton Area Ongoing through Sunday, July 7, 2013 Visitors can also enjoy community milestone celebrations, participate in hands-on pioneer experiences, search archives and learn about documenting their own family history. Free guided Doors Open tours of buildings and areas of architectural significance have become a major focus of the festival. People love to "snoop" behind the scenes, hear the stories of the building and, most importantly, the people who built them and lived in them. This years festival is an exciting showcase of the greater Edmonton's rich history in culture and recreation. From the 1913 construction of the Edmonton Gardens, to the first street car to cross the high level, to the opening of the Strathcona Edmonton Public Library, these historic events enriched our community in a way that allowed us to learn, be active and connect with others. All Historic Festival and Doors Open Edmonton activities take place in the Greater Edmonton area. For a complete schedule of tours and events, see the official website.
