What’s trending, Edmonton?

Finally, a week with sun ahead of us

The week coming up in Edmonton is looking absolutely fabulous, with only one day of rain on Sunday in comparison to the many we’ve had recently.

This upcoming Wednesday, we can expect a high of 26 degrees Celcius, but that isn’t the highest we’ll be getting this week. Heading into the weekend, we’ll actually see a high of 27 degrees Celcius on both Friday and Saturday. Finally, we’ll get to see a bit of that summer weather.

Take advantage of that nice weather by visiting Edmonton’s River Valley

According to the City of Edmonton, the River Valley is the largest urban parkland in North America and is 22 times the size of Central Park. From leisurely strolls and picnics to exhilarating bike rides and paddles, there’s so much to do in this beautiful landscape.

There are currently 20 parks within the valley, with all of them offering their own unique advantages. If you want to check them out, the City of Edmonton actually made a list of their own popular recommendations for which park to go to for what activity you’re planning.

Horizon Drive-In keeps adding more and more shows to their lineup

Following the second run of the drive-in movies at Edmonton Valley Zoo, Horizon Drive-In has just added a whole load more shows to get ready for this September.

There’s also an all-new m coming to Edmonton

Southwest Edmonton is going to be lighting up this August with some incredible energy, all thanks to Ignite Market’s first-ever event.
