Christmas Lives Here. Help Bring It to Life.

The special holiday moments that families remember don’t happen by accident. They’re sparked by a song that makes people stop and listen, a performance that gets kids dancing, or a moment that turns “Let’s stay for one more song” into a family tradition.

We’re looking for musicians, choirs, dancers, entertainers, storytellers, cultural performers, and specialty acts to join us for the 2026 Edmonton Christmas Market.

Because the best Christmas stories need great storytellers. Tell your story HERE, at the Edmonton Christmas Market.

HELP CREATE THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS

Remember when the kids wouldn’t stop dancing?
Remember when the crowd started singing along?
Remember when you stayed for one more song?
Remember when Christmas felt a little more magical than usual?
Those moments happen here.

Every year, thousands of guests visit the Edmonton Christmas Market at Fort Edmonton Park to celebrate the season, continue family traditions, and create new memories with the people they love.

As a performer, you’re more than part of the entertainment lineup. You’re part of the experience. You’re the reason someone pauses on their way to shop. You’re the soundtrack to a family photo.

You’re the unexpected moment that becomes a family story. And years from now, they’ll still be saying, “Remember when…”
