Cranbrook Arts at Ed Fest
Fri Sept 18 and Sat Sept 19
This year’s festival marks the 100th anniversary of Ed the Elephant’s infamous escape, therefore it will be the biggest yet! Ed Fest is sure to recreate the same air of mystery, excitement, and community as Ed’s escape caused a century ago.
So, whether you are an art enthusiast, a music lover, or simply looking for a family-friendly event, Ed Fest 2026 promises a unique experience for everyone. Mark your calendars for September 18th and 19th at Rotary Park, Cranbrook, and join the celebration of community and creativity!
