Fringe just wasn't big enough! 💃🕺
Start things a little early this year with a huge street party on the @EdmontonFringe grounds Wednesday night - free to attend. It's going to be a great night of dancing with @thehallucination and @sudanarchives, with special guests @tzadekavision, @samplercafe, and CypherWild. Everything is happening at the outdoor stage in McIntyre Park.
🤩
Watch for businesses across #OldStrathcona to stay open late and adjust their hours during Fringe, August 11-21. And we've got our own special kick-off coming this week with a Shop Hop Scavenger Hunt - hit the link in our bio for details.

It’s been a rainy week 🌧 but Old Strathcona still offers the best #rainydayvibes☔. So “come with me” on a day around the ave, checking out the cute bookstores: Alhambra Books, @weebookinn and @yegbooks 📚And walking around the lush streets to @block1912 for a warm tea and enjoying read.

More ideas on our blog for rainy-day activities, with other “come with me” 🚶‍♀️days as part of this series. Check bio!
