Hey parents! Bring your little ones to the Garden Giggles workshop at Meraki Emporium, where fun meets nature. This is a super chill, in-person event filled with laughs, learning, and lots of green-thumb action. Kids will get to dig into hands-on creativity and spark curiosity about gardening. They get to choose which seeds they like best and want to try growing. Perfect for young explorers ready to get their hands a little dirty and their smiles a lot big! Don’t miss out on this awesome chance to grow, giggle, and make friends!
Be inspired by this moving tale of a young girl's journey to center stage told through music. This heartwarming story is a powerful symphony of chance, discovery, and perseverance that influences the main character's life goals of becoming an aspiring conductor and composer. The ESO brings Mo Willems’ award-winning book Because to life, with music written by Jessie Montgomery, in this symphony of serendipity, reminding us that sometimes the smallest moments have the biggest impact.
Symphony For Kids concerts are designed to be the ideal child-sized introduction to orchestral music. Family-friendly activities are available in the lobby prior to each SFK concert, so be sure to arrive early – and, of course, there will be fresh popcorn!
Josh Ritter is a renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author celebrated for his narrative-driven songwriting that blends folk, Americana, and rock influences. One of today’s most prolific voices, his music often explores themes of love, politics and mythology, delivered with both warmth and intelligence. Ritter’s 2019 album Fever Breaks, produced by Jason Isbell, marked a darker, more politically charged tone while retaining his signature storytelling flair.
Celebrate humanity's first crewed mission around the Moon in more than 50 years at the Artemis II launch watch party! Launching from Florida aboard NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, Orion will travel on a roughly 10-day journey around the Moon and back. Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen makes history as the first Canadian to journey around the Moon, alongside three fellow astronauts. Launch night deserves more than a tiny phone screen, but watch party seats are limited — lock in a spot and be there for liftoff!
It’s been eight years since Montreal’s The Barr Brothers released a full-length album. In that time, life pulled them in new directions – personally and professionally – altering the way they make music together. Their fourth studio album, Let it Hiss, isn’t just a new collection of songs. It’s a document of transformation. The making of this record marked a pivotal shift: a pause for reflection, a reckoning with vulnerability, and a reconnection between the two brothers who’ve spent over three decades making music side by side.
The show follows the brothers’ rise to fame from humble country beginning to superstardom, through their decade-long feud to their glorious reunion which gave them back to each other, and back to the world. Their harmonies were so tight that every group wanted to emulate them. Before that there was a singer, a band and backing vocals, The Everly’s entwined all of them and created ‘the harmony group’”.
Walk Right Back is the first show of its kind to tell this phenomenal story of two brothers and their unforgettable music. This is a show not to be missed!
Experience the explosive rise of Nirvana like never before. This immersive production combines powerful storytelling, live music, and multimedia to take you on a rock and roll thrill ride. Recording artist El Niven brings the legend of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana’s rise from playing underground clubs in Seattle to stadium stages around the world. It’s the musical story of three guys who didn't fit in anywhere... until suddenly they fit everywhere. This isn't just about the music. It's about the way Nirvana transformed everything that came after them. The beauty. The chaos. The truth.

All Day
Get Outside and Dance!
For 11 years and counting, The Downtown Defrost delivers an unforgettable gathering in the heart of downtown Edmonton, packed with visuals, art, and world-class music. Curated by local creatives Night Vision Music and backed by The Factory Music & Arts, this 2 day event combines daytime, family-friendly vibes at Churchill Square with after party energy at Double Dragon to create an immersive festival experience, all weekend long.
Skip the traditional egg hunt and hop into a GPS-powered scavenger story this Easter.
Tips from Your Barista takes older audiences on a magical café crawl full of mystery and whimsy through Old Strathcona, While Powerplay starts innocently enough with brunch at Hotel MacDonald, it quickly spirals into a time-traveling whodunnit when hockey hero David McWayne turns up dead—and only you (and the eccentric Detective Timely) can fix the timeline before the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Tontine lets you choose your allegiances in a long-standing family feud, filled with puzzles and prestige across downtown. And in Zodiac Guardians, you’ll journey through elemental trials scattered across the city, unlocking celestial secrets to restore balance to the zodiac.
Whether you're carrying chocolate or curiosity, there’s a story waiting for you!
Check out the blockbusters, cult classics, concerts, and special presentations in the IMAX Theatre!
Mad Max Fury Road: Experience it in IMAX! Years after the collapse of civilization, the tyrannical Immortan Joe enslaves apocalypse survivors inside the desert fortress the Citadel. When the warrior Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) leads the despot's five wives in a daring escape, she forges an alliance with Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy), a loner and former captive. Fortified in the massive, armored truck the War Rig, they try to outrun the ruthless warlord and his henchmen in a deadly high-speed chase through the Wasteland.
Who’s ready for an egg-venture? Join the egg-citment of Easter Hunt! During this annual event, dozens of Easter goodies are hidden in four parks and trails waiting to be found.
The hidden eggs are limited but the fun doesn’t have to be. Parents and Guardians be sure to bring along a few extra treats to ensure every hunter enjoys something sweet!
Celebrate Easter with a fun and creative dip-dye egg workshop! Gather your friends and family to explore the art of egg dyeing in a relaxed, hands-on session led by artist Edwin Aquino. Experiment with colors, patterns, and techniques to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind Easter eggs.
A perfect way to welcome spring and make lasting memories together!
Celebrate Easter Sunday with the whole family at Hayloft Steak + Fish. Join for a Gluten Free Easter Brunch Buffet where everyone gets to enjoy a delicious meal together with confidence. From fresh seasonal ingredients to house made brunch favourites, every item is prepared completely gluten free so you can focus on good food, great company, and a relaxed holiday experience.
Bring the kids, gather your loved ones, and let Hayloft handle the cooking while you enjoy a warm and welcoming Easter celebration.
Get excited for the egg-stravagant Easter Brunch Buffet at the Beverly Hills Ballroom in Fantasyland Hotel!
Enjoy live stations, including prime rib carving, made-to-order omelettes, a crepe and waffle station, plus a seafood bar and breakfast classics. End your meal on a sweet note with Easter-themed desserts including cookies, cakes, pastries, banana foster flambe, and a chocolate fountain.
Get ready for a day full of family fun! Meet the Easter Bunny, delight in face painting for the little ones, and capture fun photo moments at their festive photo wall.
Join the Reverberations Handbells and Wednesday Band as they venture over the hills and far away in this exciting concert of evocative original works, folk songs, dances and meditations.
The handbell repertoire includes Betty Radford's (one of our very own Reverberations ringers) piece "Connections" which was chosen to represent Canada at the 2026 International Handbell Symposium in Scotland.
Reverberations then moves on to nature, with an arrangement of "Sing a Rainbow" from a 1955 film, an arrangement of "What a Wonderful World" and "Spirit in the Wind". We take a trip to Asia with pieces from Singapore and Japan, then end our world tour in Scotland with Gaelic pieces.
Opera Pub is Back!
This isn’t your typical night at the opera. Opera Pub is where music meets mischief. From soaring arias to unexpected musical theatre pieces, no two nights are ever the same. And that’s exactly how we like it.
Whether you’re a lifelong opera fan or just here for a good time, Opera Pub is the perfect way to unwind midweek with a pint in hand and some seriously stunning vocals just a few feet away. Expect students, stars, surprise guests, and always a few curveballs.
It's time to dance! Join the Cosmopolitan Music Society Jazz Big Band and Cosmopolitones with special guest, dance instructor extraordinaire, Maxwell Aguilar, in an evening of hot and lively music and dance. Ticket price includes over an hour of dance lessons led by Maxwell and members of his dance school, Caribbean Touch.
A throwback to the large-scale experimental work of NLT in the 90s, this piece addresses loneliness, grief, and mental and emotional health, depending on what an individual audience member perceives in the performance, and projects on the performer as she completes the tasks onstage, oblivious to their presence.
This wordless performance will be played by 17 actors from the past 50 years of NLT history, ranging in age from their 20s to their 80s. A different show every night.
