DOWN BY THE RIVER 2025

Edmonton’s Annual Riverside Music Gathering

September 13 & 14, 2025 @ Louise McKinney Riverfront Park

As summer winds down, Edmonton gathers by the water to soak up the last of the season with two days of live music, dancing, and community. Down by the River is a unique open-air festival set in the beautiful Louise McKinney Riverfront Park—offering stunning views, lush greenery, and a carefully curated lineup of artists from across Canada and beyond.

Produced by The Factory Music & Arts, this all-ages celebration blends indie, folk, rock, and alternative sounds in a relaxed riverside setting. Bring a blanket, bring your friends, and enjoy a weekend of music in the heart of the city.
