About the Site

The LCN event is an annual celebration of Leonard Cohen's life and music, held in Edmonton every September.

In 2008, the biennial Cohen event organized by The Leonard Cohen Files combined forces with the annual "Leonard Cohen Nights" festival in Edmonton for the best and largest event yet! The 2008 festival featured multiple concerts with artists from Jann Arden to Serena Ryder, open mike performances, poetry readings, and a visual arts display as well as a wide variety of participant activities.

This site lists information for participants - both local and international - for planning a trip to Edmonton, and to learn about past and future events. Links to specific areas of information are available below or along the left hand side of this page.

Please feel free to browse the site and contact us at cohenites@gmail.com if you have any questions or requests. Make sure to check out our official site at www.leonardcohennights.org as well.

Lister Hall - Dorm Rooms

For those looking for a more affordable option than the Westin Hotel, we have a block of 60 first-come-first-serve rooms reserved at the University of Alberta's dormitory, Lister Hall. http://www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/conferenceservices/nav01.cfm?nav01=23453

The rooms rent from $39CAD and feature all the usual dormitory perks, such as thin walls and shared washrooms.

Unfortunately, unlike the dormitories in classic college movies, the dorms at the UofA are quiet zones and there are restrictions on drinking. SO - do your partying at the hospitality suite (at the Westin Hotel) which is open 24hrs a day starting 2pm on July 23 until 8pm July 28th. Booze, food, and all your favourite fans, without being "shushed" by an overzealous academic.

Lister Hall is about a 5 minute LRT ride from downtown (where the hospitality suite and the majority of events/activities will be held). See the "Getting Around" section on this site for LRT schedules and prices. Alternatively, it is a 45minute walk or $7.50CAD taxi ride.
