ABOUT ECW
Founded By A Group Of Spirited Individuals Who Love Our Craft Industry.
Edmonton Cocktail Week is a homegrown initiative spearheaded by a group of passionate entrepreneurs who believe that this is a great place to make cocktails. We believe that there is more room on the global stage for Edmonton’s award-winning distillers, our talented bartenders, and our incredible bars & restaurants.
Our goal is to highlight some of these businesses, encourage Edmontonians to venture out and try something new (hopefully learning a little bit more along the way), and to be proud of the talent that exists in our city.
