EAD's Program at a Glance
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM | Explore & Connect
Members have the entire day to explore the Midway and Fort Edmonton Park at their own pace. Please plan to bring your own bagged lunch or purchase food on-site, as the banquet dinner will not begin until 6:00 PM.
Check out Fort Edmonton attractions and plan your visit here: fortedmontonpark.ca.
Note: Fort Edmonton Park is currently closed for the season and will reopen in May 2026, but information about attractions is available online so you can plan ahead.
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM | Workshop
The 75th Anniversary Committee will select a presenter and topic that highlight our community’s history, achievements, and future vision. This interactive session will give members a chance to learn, share, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Details will be announced once the presenter is confirmed and finalized.
2:00 PM – 4:00 PM | Social & Explore
Take time to relax and connect with fellow members, or continue exploring Fort Edmonton Park. This is a casual break in the day to enjoy the space, catch up with friends, and recharge before the evening events. Coffee, tea and juice will be served.
If you prefer, this is also a good time to head home and change into more formal wear for the evening. The Blatchford Hangar has washrooms available for changing into your evening attire or freshening up if you prefer stay on site.
5:00 PM | Cocktail Hour
Unwind before the evening program with a relaxed social gathering. Enjoy craft beer selections from Polyrhythm Brewing, along with a variety of light refreshments. This is a chance to mingle, catch up with old friends, and meet new people before sitting down for the banquet.
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM | Banquet & Keynote
A semi-formal dinner event (attire: black, white, and gold, no jeans) featuring a keynote presentation, kept to 30 minutes so there’s plenty of time to enjoy the evening.
Menu details will be shared once the 75th Anniversary Committee makes its final decisions.
8:00 PM – 12:00 AM | 50/50 Raffle, Prizes, Social and Dancin
We will draw the 50/50 raffle and announce prize winners.
We will introduce Andre Robinson, also known as DJ Deaf Tunez, who will set the tone for the night with music.
Mystica Entertainment will bring their photobooth experience so you can capture fun memories throughout the evening.
Enjoy a lively social and plenty of dancing to close out the celebration.
