100 in 1 Day Festival | Saturday
100in1Day Edmonton is a one-day festival on June 3, 2017, and is now in its second year in Edmonton. The goal is to get at least 100 small urban intervention projects created around the city in the one day, in order to spark positive change – the idea is for individuals and groups to take an underused or neglected space in the city like a vacant lot or alleyway and turn it into somewhere vibrant that people would like to be. Previous projects have included street murals, pop-up parks, art installations, impromptu performances, flash mobs, tree plantings – basically anything people can think up.
