When it comes to community support in Edmonton, Kross Mitsubishi is proud to help drivers experience the best of what our province has to offer. From road trips to rural rodeos, there are plenty of local events Mitsubishi owners can explore all summer long.

Here are some must-see Edmonton summer events and nearby adventures to check out:

St. Albert Farmers Market

Supporting local begins with our farmers—and there’s no better place to do that than the St. Albert Farmers’ Market, the largest outdoor market in Canada. Just a 30-minute drive northwest of Edmonton, this vibrant seasonal market kicks off in early June in the heart of downtown St. Albert.

Located at 5 St. Anne Street, the market features approximately 274 vendors from across Alberta, offering everything from fresh produce to handmade goods. Open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. throughout the warmer months, it's a perfect weekend outing—no need to arrive at the crack of dawn.

Bonnyville WPCA Chuckwagon Races

Located a scenic two-and-a-half-hour drive northeast of the city, the Bonnyville WPCA Chuckwagon Races is one of Bonnyville’s summer highlights. Held at the Bonnyville Rodeo Grounds each June, it’s a thrilling example of the pioneering spirit that helped shape Alberta.

Mitsubishi drivers in Edmonton love the freedom to hit the open road, and this event is a perfect excuse to do just that.

Beaumont Music Festival

Taking place in late June, the Beaumont Music Festival is just a short drive south of Edmonton. Held at Four Seasons Park in the heart of Beaumont, this beloved event is Canada’s longest-running music festival featuring an all-Canadian lineup.

Showcasing a dynamic mix of country, folk, blues, rockabilly, and roots, the festival celebrates homegrown talent on a vibrant outdoor stage. Hop in your Mitsubishi and enjoy the sounds of summer while supporting community events near Edmonton.

The Magnificent River Rats Festival - Athabasca

Running from June 30 through Canada Day weekend, The Magnificent River Rats Festival is a vibrant, family-friendly celebration in the town of Athabasca—just under two hours north of Edmonton.

Held at Athabasca Riverfront Park (5003 50 Street), the festival features free live music, a Canada Day parade, a car show, a strongman competition, and a variety of other attractions. Enjoy local eats at the Athabasca Marketplace and relax at the beer garden hosted by the Athabasca Royal Canadian Legion #103.

Elk Island National Park

For those looking to hike, camp, or simply connect with nature, Elk Island National Park is a must-visit—just under an hour east of Edmonton. As a UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve, the park offers three scenic campgrounds and exceptional stargazing with virtually no light pollution.
