The Edmonton Stiltwalkers Society
The Edmonton StiltWalkers Society (E.S.S.), grew out of the IAAF 2001 World Games, held in Edmonton in August of 2001.

The E.S.S. was founded in November of 2001. Our members are talented folks with daring personalities from 13 to 63 year old.

Over the past 8 years, with the leadership of Randall Fraser-Founding Artistc Director, the group has been invited to perform at many prestigeous events locally, nationally and internationally, including the St. Albert International Children’s Festival(4 years), The Edmonton International Street Performers Festival(3 years), The Edmonton International Fringe Festival(3 years), Sherwood Park Canada Day Celebrations, the Oregon Country Fair, many Street Parades, and Non-Profit Associations Gala events.

They have also traveled to two national capitals; Ottawa and Washington DC, and most recently Nanjing China. Last summer we premiered our new landmark stilt pageant “ Fire and Water – The Dragons Awaken” at the Royal Alberta Museum to loud and grateful Opening & Closing Ceremony audiences, and this year we are participating in the Olympic Torch Relay Run celebrations.
