About Northlands

We’ve been rocking this city since 1879 and we now have 2500 events that attract over 3.5 million visitors every year. Think Canadian Finals Rodeo, Farmfair International, Capital EX, the best of horse racing, headliner concerts, international events, and all the trade shows you can handle.

We generate more than $342 million in direct spending annually. We stimulate an estimated $880 million in economic activity in the capital region alone. As a non-profit organization, we are one of Edmonton’s largest employers with 290 full-time, 1310 part-time and over 500 enthusiastic event staff. Add to the mix more than 900 volunteers and you can understand how year in and year out we’re able to pull off Edmonton’s biggest events with flair.
