2024 Silver Skate festival moves location

The 2024 Silver Skate winter festival has a new location this year.

The event is free to attend and runs until February 19.

There is limited parking, but Edmonton Transit Service has two free shuttles to the park, one from the South Campus Transit Centre, and the other from Fort Edmonton Park.
