Beyond the Stage

A multidisciplinary showcase of music, dance, poetry, fashion, art, and entrepreneurship celebrating culture and community.

The CFDE Creative Showcase is a night dedicated to youth talent, creativity, and community in Edmonton.

Join us for an evening featuring live music, dance, spoken word, fashion, cultural performances, local vendors, giveaways, and emerging creatives from across the city.

Hosted by the Canadian Foundation for Development and Empowerment (CFDE), this showcase is designed to create a welcoming space for young artists, performers, entrepreneurs, and community members to connect, express themselves, and celebrate creativity together.

Whether you’re attending to support someone performing, discover new local talent, network with creatives, or simply enjoy a fun and energetic community event, everyone is welcome.
