The Same JJF Experience
JJ Festival is back for 2026, and we’ve outgrown our home in Borden Park. This year, we’re taking over the Louise McKinney Riverfront Park on August 29th! This year’s festival brings bigger energy, more businesses, delicious food and an unforgettable waterfront experience in the heart of Edmonton.
From bold flavours and live performances to family-friendly experiences and cultural celebrations, this is where Edmonton comes alive.
