The whole city feels alive; humming, buzzing, and filled with life during the hottest and longest days of the year. There's so much to do in Edmonton during the summer (perhaps it's the perpetual awareness of winter and how fleeting these days are) that push us to stay out later, eat outdoors, and embrace our short lived and hard earned summer.
Jazz it up: This summer the High Street takes on the flavour of New Orleans for the 2nd Annual Block Party. Join us Sunday, July 5th for live swing music, dancing, southern food trucks, crafts, games and more! RSVP here.
Take in a Game: Throughout the summer, Edmonton will be filled with sporting events perfect for you and your friends and family to take in. Some of the teams we can't wait to cheer on include Prospectors Baseball, the Jr. Pan American Track and Field competition, and the Edmonton Eskimos. Grab some popcorn and something cold to drink and make a day of it.
Festival City: These activities may be a little cliche, but is it really an Edmonton summer without watching the Canada day fireworks, visiting Taste of Edmonton, or K-Days? Give into the obvious and take in these summer classics.
Garden of Love: Craft beer and croquet anyone? This summer the Devonian Gardens will be running a line-up of date nights every Thursday evening until dusk with special activities planned to help you spark a little romance. Find out more here.
