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.
