Keeping It Clean and Fun: How Hiregood Helps Events Shine

Imagine the scene: Laughter echoes through a vibrant park as the sun dips low, painting the Edmonton skyline in golden hues. Below, the North Saskatchewan River winds its way past, framed by the modern curves of the Walterdale Bridge and the Historic High Level Bridge reaching high above. This is the unmistakable magic of The Great Outdoors Comedy Festival, organized by Trixstar Entertainment, and held right here in Edmonton's Kinsmen Park (July 18-20, 2025).

At Hiregood, we love helping these big outdoor events come to life. We make sure everything runs smoothly, stays clean, and that everyone feels safe. We were so proud to be a part of The Great Outdoors Comedy Festival this year, focusing on our groundskeeping and waste management services. It's a perfect example of how our team steps in to make an event truly shine.

The Challenge: Keeping a Premier Park Picture-Perfect

The Great Outdoors Comedy Festival, is all about enjoying the natural beauty that's so uniquely Edmonton, set against such a magnificent backdrop. The big question for the festival organizers was: how do you host thousands of people for three days in a beloved park like Kinsmen, which is practically an extension of our iconic river valley, and ensure it stays pristine? That's the specific challenge Hiregood took on with our cleanup services.

Our Story at The Great Outdoors Comedy Festival: Making the Grounds a Breeze

From the moment the gates opened until the last light faded, our team was on-site, dedicated to keeping the festival grounds spotless and ensuring every guest had a fantastic time.

• Litter Pickup and Groundskeeping: Even before the first comedian took the stage, our crews were meticulously preparing the park. Throughout the festival, you'd constantly see our team members diligently picking up trash, emptying bins, and generally ensuring the grounds remained immaculate. This quiet, continuous work meant that attendees could simply relax and soak in the comedy, while the beauty of Kinsmen Park remained undisturbed.

• Connecting with Guests for a Great Experience: Our team understands that when we're on site, we're representatives of the festival itself. This means more than just keeping things clean. Our staff are friendly, approachable, and always ready to help guests with a smile, whether it's pointing them to the nearest washroom or answering a quick question. We believe that every interaction, even a small one, contributes to the overall positive experience for attendees.

• Recycle Collection: The festival was committed to being green, and so were we. We made sure all recyclable items were properly collected and managed. Our team efficiently sorted bottles, cans, and other materials, sending them off to be recycled. This helped the festival significantly reduce its environmental footprint, showing how large events can indeed be kind to our planet.
