1. Edmonton Heritage Festival
This festival is my favorite one of the summer, because you get to stuff yourself senseless while appreciating diverse cultures in the city. Same deal as Taste of Edmonton, in that you purchase a sheet of tickets and use your stubs towards foods at…More »
2. Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival
I have to agree with Jeanette, the Fringe is one of the best things in Edmonton during the summer. It's really a shame to let the whole summer pass without going at least once.
I caught my first show this past summer with my boyfriend. We saw an…More »
3. Taste of Edmonton Festival
This is one of my favorite festivals in the summer, as it's all about the food! It's similar to the Heritage festival, where you purchase a sheet of tickets and pay a certain amount of tickets for your food. Restaurants from around the city set up…More »
4. Edmonton Street Performers Festival
Edmonton, AB T5J 2V5
(780) 425-5162
Categories:
Performing Arts,
Festivals
I remember going to see the Edmonton Street Performers Festival this past summer, and it was great. Everybody's there to just relax and have fun. The street performers really put on a good show, dancing with dozens of hula hoops or throwing flaming…More »
5. Edmonton International Film Festival
For all you film buffs, now is the time to take advantage of the Edmonton International Film Festival (EIFF) before it ends. The EIFF has been on since Sept. 26, and will continue until this Saturday, Oct. 4th.
If you're thinking its just a bunch of…More »
6. Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village
It may not be the right season anymore, as winter is upon us, but the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village is a wonderful historic site to visit. It educates the public on Ukrainian settlement during the late 19th to early 20th century. The site is…More »
7. Bearclaw Gallery
This is the first gallery I've seen in Edmonton that sells fine First Nations art (maybe the only one?). It's an authentic art gallery, so you won't find items like tacky dreamcatchers and mini-totem poles as you would at stereotypical tourist shops.…More »
8. Royal Alberta Museum
I remember coming here when I was little, and I gotta say, it wasn't very memorable back then. In fact, all I remembered were the stuffed deer. Pretty sad ... But I'm very glad I came back recently, because the museum has certainly made some major…More »
9. West End Gallery
The West End Gallery is at the higher end of Edmonton's gallery district. You'll find sculptures, contemporary glass art, and paintings of Canadian landscape here, all for very big numbers. While art is usually expensive anyway, I find pieces in this…More »
10. Scott Gallery
The Scott Gallery is located right by the Bearclaw Gallery, featuring contemporary Canadian art. Like all good galleries, it has plenty of open space and bright lighting, but not fluorescent ones to blind you. The lady who greeted me was warm and…More »
11. Agnes Bugera Gallery
Agnes Bugera is a big name in the local art community, as she's the mastermind behind galleries such as the Bearclaw and Gallery on Whyte. The Agnes Bugera Gallery houses more Canadian contemporary art, in paintings and sculptures. There are many…More »
12. Alberta Craft Council
If you've never been to the Alberta Craft Gallery, you don't know what you're missing. The gallery houses hundreds of pieces of beautiful art, all handcrafted by Canadian artists. Whether you prefer glass art or ceramics and pottery, wood or…More »
13. Peter Robertson Gallery
I was very impressed with the friendly service of the art dealer here. She was amiable and answered all my questions with an easy manner. I explained I didn't know too much about the art scene, but she didn't judge me by that, saying it was…More »
14. Copycat Art Reproductions
This art gallery operates on a really neat concept. They basically have a team of artists who will paint -- from scratch -- a famous painting of your choice, for a much more affordable price. Let's say you want one of Monet's paintings; they'll get…More »
15. Telus World of Science Edmonton
Jeanette's right ... the changing names of this place are confusing. I always call it Science World, but that's because I'm used to the one in Vancouver. Edmonton's is the same idea, but it's a lot smaller here.
I went here on a fieldtrip when I was…More »
16. Old Strathcona Farmer's Market
Edmonton, AB T6E 5C3
(780) 439-1844
Categories:
Fruits & Veggies,
Farmers Market
The Old Strathcona Farmers' Market is a great way to spend a free Saturday morning or afternoon, and support local farmers at the same time. There are tables and tables of fresh veggies and fruits, meats, cheese, baked treats, and even seafood.
