Watch a Double Feature ‘Jaws in the Lake’ at Sylvan Lake in July
Every summer - it’s like road trip season is on! There are a few staple festivals, events and attractions that we make the trek for every year - and Sylvan Lake, Jaws on the Lake, is one of those adventures. This year - there’s a double feature, an earlier one for the smallest members of the family - and a later, classic, Jaws on the Lake.
Just ninety minutes from Edmonton, the summer beach movie night returns for 2026 with a double feature, lake views, and plenty of fun before the films start. It’s worth the trip from Edmonton! Find a hotel and stay the night and turn this into a short staycation from Edmonton where you can enjoy two days at the beach at Sylvan Lake!
