Enjoy live music at YEG seven days a week! Our YEG Stage music program showcases 20 talented local musicians who play on stages (after security) at Central Hall and the Living Wall across from Gate 64. In 2004, YEG became the first airport in Canada to launch a permanent live music program. We have supported and celebrated local musicians, giving them the opportunity to perform in a public space with an engaged audience.

Thank you to all the incredibly talented musicians who participated in YEG’s first-ever Runway 12 Music Festival on July 5 and 6. The airport was filled with delightful melodies from local artists in the YEG Stage live music program. If you were at the airport on either of those days, we hope you had a chance to experience some of the musicians playing! #flyyeg #yeg #yegmusic #yegmusician

Summer is hitting a high note at YEG! The Runway 12 Music Festival has officially started. Over the next two days, we’ll be hosting 40 live music performances at five stages around the airport. 🎵 YEG was the first airport in Canada to launch a permanent live music program in 2004. The program, known as YEG Stage, supports and celebrates the local music scene by giving talented performers the opportunity to play in a public space with a captivated audience. The festival is a new way to extend our music program and welcome our new and returning musicians for the 2024/25 season. We are also very excited to be one of the only airports in the world to host a music festival. Learn more at flyeia.com/runway-12. #flyyeg #yeg #yegmusic #yegmusician

Today, YEG and Edmonton Global were pleased to bring together an extraordinary group of industry and government leaders at the Hydrogen at the Raceway event at RAD Torque Raceway. We enjoyed seeing guests behind the wheel of some of YEG’s Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell cars, taking them for a test drive on the open racetrack located on airport land. As the largest airport by land size with over 7,000 acres in our care, YEG is using some of its vast space to develop the infrastructure required to accommodate hydrogen fuel technology and bridge the future to a net-zero aviation and transportation industry. Collaboration is the key to decarbonizing the transportation sector and working together with industry leaders and champions from across the entire hydrogen value chain drives us closer to a sustainable future. Thank you to all the partners who collaborated to make this a successful showcase of hydrogen technology on our roadways.

Today, on the inaugural #AirportWorkersDay, we are reminded of the talented and dedicated team members who ensure everyone and everything gets where it needs to be. Whether it’s a sunny vacation, an international business trip or a local business counting on the reliable movement of goods, airport workers are essential to our communities in Canada and around the world. Thank you to our team members, our partners and everyone who supports air travel in our region.

It's all about the journey, and we know a little something about that here at YEG! The Edmonton Oilers have taken fans on the trip of a lifetime this season. There was some turbulence along the way, but the team drew on that adversity, inspiring our city and beyond with non-stop, relentless determination and strength. YEG is proud of all your accomplishments. Game 6 is going to be epic! #LetsGoOilers #Believe
