How to make the most of the Grey Cup Festival

Two teams whittled down from nine tough weeks of hard work, ups and downs, injuries and for one singular purpose—the Grey Cup. If the Canadian Football League schedule is life or death and dictates your weekend plans, the Grey Cup Festival is no doubt a bucket list item. Here are five ways to make sure your participation in this quintessentially Canadian event is memorable.
Make the most of your host city
The Grey Cup 2018 location is Edmonton, one of Canada’s most passionate football towns with a long history of Grey Cup wins.
In addition to being an easy place to get to via plane, train, bus or automobile, this hip town offers some fantastic attractions, including gardens, parks and theatre. From food to fashion there is something new around every corner, so add in a couple of days to enjoy the non-football side of the city. And, whatever your plans, make sure they include a Medical Plan that offers emergency health and medical coverage travel insurance if you are travelling out of your home province — or opt for a Medical and Cancellation Plan as weather in the western prairies is always unpredictable, and you want to be prepared for any delays, medical emergencies and other issues, so they don’t put a crimp in your plans.
