5 Things to do in Edmonton this Spring!
Spring has sprung in Canada’s Festival City. Check out our top picks for activities.
Edmontonians know that spring can sometimes mean a few more snowfalls and a couple more blizzards in early April. That being said, we think that’s all in the past now (thanks to our manifesting) with some exciting new events coming up! Check out our Top 5 activities in Edmonton this spring.
1. Nature Hikes
With the ice melted and the flowers blooming, it’s a perfect trip for tourists and locals alike to explore the many trails around Edmonton. We’d recommend William Hawrelak Park, a 5.1 km loop which boasts up-close views of the North Saskatchewan River and is considered to be at its best this time of year!
2. Digital Arts Market
Edmonton’s iconic Arts District is lighting up! Filled with immersive cultural exhibits, extended outdoor patios, giant art installations and so much more, The Art Gallery of Alberta, Citadel Theatre, and Winspear Centre will be hosting three distinct multidisciplinary digital experiences. Featuring local artists, experience the magic of the city’s core with this physically distant experience at Main Street Leduc’s Revolve Market.
3. Farmers Market
LEDUC CO-OP is bringing the best of the best with their free, annual Farmer’s Market for the May 1st Relove Market! From tasty foods to homemade goods, the Farmer’s Market will offer a WIDE variety of products of local and international cuisines. Nothing sounds more Quarter to Five than tasty drinks and tapas with friends!
4. Picnic in the park
Take in the magnificent view of the downtown skyline with the Muttart Conservatory with friends and a picnic in the park! You might need your parka for now but as the weather warms and the flowers continue to bloom this beautiful spot boasts some of the best views of the city.
5. West Edmonton Mall
Edmonton is called Canada’s Festival City for a reason, right? Check out all of the amazing in-person and digital events you can attend with friends and family coming to the West Edmonton Mall this spring! For real… there’s too many events for us to name but who can say to Sea Lion Saturdays and bottomless brunches?
