What to do in Edmonton This Weekend (With Kids) | July 14-16

What are you doing this weekend with the kids? We’ve rounded up our favourite picks for spending the weekend in Edmonton, entertaining the kids, right here for you to choose from.

Here’s what to do in Edmonton this Weekend:

Street Performer’s Festival | All Weekend
Use sunscreen, wear hats, sunglasses and comfortable footwear. Please supervise your children at all times. Please turn off your phone during performances. Videotaping performances is not permitted. If you’re coming with a group, ensure all children or others requiring supervision are easily recognizable – matching hats, shirts or wristbands work wonderfully. Daycares, Camp Groups, and parents, take this opportunity to teach children how it works at our festival – load ’em up with loonies and twoonies!
