Silver Skate Festival is a 10-day, family-oriented festival running February 8-18, 2019 in Edmonton’s scenic river valley.

Rooted in Dutch winter traditions, the festival combines sport (especially skating), arts and culture, and recreation. The Silver Skate Festival is the longest running winter festival in Edmonton. Over the years, it has grown in leaps and bounds, from a small skating event to a large-scale, winter extravaganza.

Each year, the festival transforms Hawrelak Park into a winter wonderland with fun for the entire family.

Fearless and meticulous. Fragile and melancholy. Forthright and mighty. F&M (Edmonton’s Ryan and Rebecca Anderson) is a baroque-pop outfit with a penchant for dark lyrics and mesmerizing melodies. For more than 10 years, the couple have been indispensable stalwarts — releasing six of their own albums and touring through Canada and Europe. F&M’s forlorn cover of “Maybe Tomorrow” from TV’s The Littlest Hobo was featured in the modern hockey classic, GOON. All of the band’s full length albums have appeared on the Earshot charts — including 2010’s “Sincerely, F&M” (Shameless Records), which was N0.1 on the national folk charts for six weeks. Their latest release, “Lessons From Losers” follows 2014’s “At Sunset We Sing,” which was also shortlisted for the Edmonton Music Prize and earned a Best Alternative Album nomination at the Edmonton Music Awards.

“F&M’s Lessons From Losers is a shot in the dark – a bold Hail Mary awakening full of heavy hues and bittersweet, emotive melodies. Thought-provoking and life-enhancing.” – Atwood Magazine, New York
