Here are the best things to do in Edmonton this Weekend with kids

Friday

Saturday

  • Terwillegar Movie Night: How to Train Your Dragon | Free
    Sunset is 8:43 pm, and the movie will start as soon as it is dark enough. Bring your own seating and bug repellant, and dress for the weather. The show will be cancelled if it rains or if the air quality is poor.

  • Outdoor Movie Night: The Minecraft Movie | Free
    Join the fun Saturday, Aug 23 at 8:30pm in Lymburn Park (Hall 2, 18740 72 Ave NW) for a blocky adventure under the stars! Enjoy free hot dogs, popcorn & water (while supplies last)

  • Catch the Edmonton Pride Parade | Free

  • Try Something new at Chinatown After Dark | Free to $
    This is our version of a Chinatown Night Market where we transform our back alleys into our patio and play space, bringing in seating, entertainment, activities and good vibes while allowing patrons to buy food tickets and curate their dinner spread from over 20 Chinatown restaurants. Imagine Taste of Edmonton but in Chinatown!

  • Make Space Family Fun Grand Opening | Free
    Storage might not sound like a party - until now. Make Space Storage is celebrating their grand opening in Beaumont with a full-on family-friendly bash — free lunch from Venture Eats, a raffle for a YETI cooler or one year of free storage, balloon artist, glitter tattoos, a kids’ colouring station, sweet treats, and one-day-only discounts on storage units.

    Take a tour of the brand-new facility, meet the team, and soak up the small-town-meets-big-celebration vibes. It’s the kind of event where you can eat, win stuff, and maybe finally solve your “too much stuff” problem.

SUNDAY
