Spruce Grove’s signature summer event series returns for 2026 with even more to experience. Last year, over 10,000 people filled the streets of our City Centre. This year, we’re raising the bar with more vendors, more food trucks, more entertainment, and more community energy . Each event transforms downtown into a high-energy, family-friendly hub - rain or shine.

When Nemo swims too close to the surface to prove himself, he is caught by a diver, and, horrified, Marlin must set out to find him. A blue reef fish named Dory -- who has a really short memory -- joins Marlin and complicates the encounters with sharks, jellyfish, and a host of ocean dangers.
