First held in 1974, the Heritage Festival will host 65 pavillions representing different countries in a celebration of food and culture.
This year's Heritage Festival is being staged at the Edmonton Exhibition Lands -- using much of the former Northlands Park racetrack and infield and the west lot, site of July's K-Days midway -- and the eastern portion of Borden Park.
The festival's usual home, Hawrelak Park, is unavailable while city crews perform rehabilitation work slated to take three years.

There is no gate admission to access the festival site. There are varying costs for food at each pavilion.
