Lovers of tattoos will be big fans of this festival coming to Edmonton next week.
Edmonton is hosting a tattoo and arts festival from April 17 to 19, and we couldn’t be more excited. With over 450 artists featured, there will be tattooing, contests, retail exhibits, and more all weekend long. Whether you’re all tatted up or looking to get one soon, this is definitely the place to be.
Grab a drink, and feel free to check out all the ink!
What to expect
This festival features over 450 artists, both local and international, making it one of the largest of its kind in Canada. That being said, it’s also taking place in the Edmonton Expo Centre, which gives it a lot of ground to cover.
The first evening that the festival takes place, on April 17, is adults only. Every other evening is all ages. From 4 p.m. to midnight on Friday, you can traverse the halls and explore everything this festival has to offer, including tattoos, art, shopping, and live entertainment.
On Saturday and Sunday, children 12 and under are not only allowed, but get in free!
Passes begin at $30 for Sunday, $35 for Saturday and Friday, and $85 for a weekend pass. If you’re looking to get a better experience and spend a tad bit more, a VIP pass is available for $100, allowing you entry on all three days as well as early admission on Saturday and Sunday.
These three days are lining up to be an exciting few for April, and you won’t want to miss it. Whether you’re looking to get a tattoo or just eyeing them all up, you’re welcome to peruse around the fest to your heart’s desire.
Mark your calendars, folks, and drink a whole lot of water. You may just be the one sitting in the chair for this tattoo weekend.
