All of you Edmontonians or former Edmontonians know that Heritage Days
is one of the most popular summer festivals in Edmonton. For those of
you who don't know what it is, Heritage Day is a stat holiday in Canada
on the first Monday of August. Edmonton has the best Heritage Festival
across all of Canada, or so I've heard! To celebrate all the different
cultures represented in Edmonton, food tents are set up across Hawrelak
Park from all different countries. Basically a dream come true for someone who loves ethnic food and trying new things. Needless to say, it makes for quite a
chaotic and crowded scene. Elena and I had a grand time trying foods
from some of the more obscure and less crowded tents, including Eritrea,
Malaysia, Nepal, and Romania. My favorite was probably the curry from
Nepal. (Nepalese food is very similar to Indian food, which I've
recently decided is my favorite type.) Besides tasting yummy food, we
also got to see some cool dancers and look at random other merchandise
for sale. Not to mention take some interesting pictures.
It was great fun, and I hope to return soon!
