The Concert in the Valley is a popular music event held each July at the old rodeo grounds. In winter, the Just For Fun Vintage Sledders host a snowmobile rally, traditionally held the second weekend in January each year.

Tourism, Recreation, & Parks

The village is home to a beautiful, self-contained downtown park that has developed gradually over the years. Originally it was a small area funded by a grant from the Devonian Foundation. A major contribution from the Municipal Recreation Tourism Program, along with assistance from the Recreation, Parks & Wildlife Foundation, County of Camrose, Edberg Recreation Association, Village of Edberg and private donations has allowed it to boast of the many features it holds today.

It has developed into a much larger area, now encompassing the former C.N.R. station grounds and the old hardware store site. The park is an ideal place for family reunions, picnics, and other outdoor activities.
