About the Festival
Presented by the shops, studios, and neighbours of 124 Street, All Is Bright turns a working street into a one-night winter market. Storefronts double as galleries, sidewalks fill with vendor stalls, and firepits mark the corners where buskers and food trucks gather. The festival was born from a simple idea: Edmonton doesn't hide from its winters, it lights them up.
