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.

Public Transit Passes

ETS (Edmonton's public transit body) runs both the buses and the LRT. (See: www.edmonton.ca for details.)

As such, you can transfer from buses to the LRT using the same transit pass or transfer. If you need to go to St. Albert for any reason (and why would you? except for the awesome Farmer's Market saturdays) it is a different system and a different fee - but there are buses easily caught downtown.

If you plan to use the bus once or twice, simply pay the regular fee ($2.50). If you booked a hotel/room far from the venues, you will want to buy a ticket pack ($21). If you figure you'll probably use the bus more than 3 times that day, but only maybe once the rest of your time in Edmonton, buy the day pass for that one busy day ($7.50).

If you are unsure, buy a ticket book and donate any left over tickets to our volunteers!

Ticket Books and Day Passes can be purchased at many locations close to the venues - the easiest place to purchase them is at the Shopper's drugmart, in the basement of the Edmonton City Center Mall (about 1 block from the hospitality suite) or at the Central LRT station.

Single tickets may be purchased at the LRT station or as you board the bus (make sure you have exact change when paying on the bus).
