"It’s a festival that connects us — one where everyone can feel included and part of the community." - Rob

"Our student base mirrors the diversity of Edmonton. That’s why this partnership just made sense.” - Scott


In this episode of Sapreet on the Universal Radio Network, we dive into one of Edmonton’s most beloved summer traditions — the Edmonton Heritage Festival, happening August 2–4 at Borden Park & Exhibition Lands.

Joining Sapreet are Rob, representing the Edmonton Heritage Festival, and Scott from Robertson College, this year’s presenting partner.

Together, they unpack the festival’s role in celebrating diversity, building community, and evolving with Edmonton’s changing cultural landscape.

From childhood memories and social media strategies to community collaboration and the power of volunteerism, this episode spotlights how the Heritage Festival goes beyond food and performances — it creates a space for cultural connection and inclusion.

Don’t miss this vibrant conversation about how one weekend can unite an entire city. And remember — admission is free, but bring a non-perishable item to support the Edmonton Food Bank!
