News for This Month

It's the weekend for Heritage Festival! It's really what sets August and this year, we can thank the weather because it's supposed to be super sunny! $25 you get 30 tickets, not bad!

No plans on a Friday night? Why not come out for a wine tasting? It's been featured on City TV and it's organic! For $10, it will give you admission and a glass of wine! Check it out here!

After wine tasting, come over because they're playing Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa tonight and Kung Fu Panda tomorrow at 9:30 pm at Sir Winston Churchill Square! It's totally free so come grab a seat & some snacks, there will be dancing, prizes and stuff! Check out Movie on the Square.

Next week is Edmonton Folk Music Festival at Gallagher Park! Come check it out!

I know this is early, but for those planning, the next buffet at Padmanadi is going to be on August 12 from noon to 10 pm.

Wow, with all the festivals, I'm not sure how we are keeping track! From August 13-23, come over to the Fringe and check out all the plays they have! You may even get to go to some for free :)

Feeling a little blue that summer might be over soon? Check out the Labatt Blues Festival at Hawrelak Park on August 21-23!

And just incase you're not festivaled out yet by the end of August, you might want to check out the Edmonton Dragon Boat Festival that weekend too! (August 21-23) Cheer on your favoriate team or just hang and enjoy a drink or two!

What? There's more? Yup! If you can cram more into that weekend, come out and check out the Tattoo and Arts Festival at the Shaw Conference Centre. Maybe if you're feeling brave, you can get inked there!
