fringe festival 2026

August 13 - 23

The High Level Bridge Streetcar is one of Edmonton's premier attractions. Our ride into history takes you along former Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) trackage, from Edmonton's historic Whyte Avenue, through the only tunnel ever built on a CPR mainline in Alberta, and across the High Level Bridge into Edmonton's Downtown. The Strathcona stop is home to our museum, and our Jasper Plaza terminus is less than a block from Jasper Avenue.
