Taste of Edmonton is nothing special. I've been here for 2.5 years now and went to it two summers ago. Not near as many options as you'd think, and most of them were just deep-fried Asian foods...not exactly what you crave when it was 35 degrees out. It's quite small too, you can pretty much go through the whole thing(including waiting in line for food) in an hour.
The Heritage Festival, however, is outstanding! Went to that for the first time last summer, and I'm definitely going again. It's massive too, definitely an all-day thing if you wanna see everything. The different cuisines were great too, I'm still craving whatever the thing was called I had from the Bangladesh exhibit. Idk if Calgary has something similar(haven't lived there in 4 years), but if you're up here over Aug. long weekend I'd recommend checking it out.
