This October, Edmonton is getting a little more out of this world. Galactic Atmosphere, a space-themed light art festival, is landing at Churchill Square from October 16 to 25, and it's completely free for the whole family.

Presented by Cloud Nine Group in partnership with the City of Edmonton, this immersive light installation transforms the heart of downtown into a glowing cosmos, blending art, science, and community under the night sky. Expect the kind of larger-than-life, walk-through experience that makes for great family photos and even better memories.
