From Wikipedia, the Edmonton Fringe started in 1982. The Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario has been running since 1953.
Just for Laughs in Montreal started in 1983 (so, Edmonton beats them by one year) and their Facebook page says they attract over 2 million people each year.
The Montreal Jazz Festival has been around since 1980 and has attendance of 2.5 million a year.
Those are just a few in Canada that come immediately to mind.
