Before you let the “back-to-school blues” get you down, grab your family and friends and take in the last of Edmonton’s summer festivities. Here are just a few suggestions to make the most out of your last month of summer!
Movies on the Square: Take a in a flick on a Tuesday night this August. Head down to Sir Winston Churchill Square where Scotiabank is presenting free movies for the whole family to enjoy! For this outdoor event be sure to pack your lawn chairs, or a blanket. With the pre-show entertainment beginning at 7pm, and the movie at sunset, come early to ensure you get a great spot!
FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup: FIFA is returning to Edmonton this August! Take in a soccer match and cheer on some international up-and-coming soccer stars at Commonwealth Stadium, August 5-24. Order your tickets here.
Festivals: The city of Edmonton, coined “Festival City” by locals, is guaranteed to have a festival that will suit your interests this summer. Performers and playgoers may find their enjoyment at the popular Fringe Festival, while music lovers may want to take in the Blues Festival at Hawrelak Park.
If you are interested in exploring some of the diverse cultures in Edmonton, check out the Dragon Boat Festival or get ready to dance at the Edmonton Latin Festival. This is just a small taste of what is happening in Edmonton this August. Check out the City of Edmonton website for details on other festivals happening this month.
