Free Edmonton Family Nature Nights are Back for 2026

Free Family Nature Nights are officially back for 2026 in Edmonton - and they’re shaping up to be one of the easiest ways for families to get outside, unplug, and enjoy the city’s natural spaces together.

These evenings are all about simple outdoor fun. Think guided nature walks, hands-on activities for kids, wildlife spotting, campfire stories, and a chance to slow down for a few hours while learning about the local ecosystem from experts.

These events are primarily drop-in. Plan to arrive early to register to take part in the programming. Some events, like the family nature walk, require advance registration. You can find details for each event, below.
