Looking for something fun to do with your family this Family Day in Edmonton? Look no further than the City Room at City Hall, where you can enjoy live performances by double JUNO and WCMA nominee Beppie and JUNO award-winning artist Garth Prince. Afterward, dance to the high-energy sounds of Marango Pie, an eclectic mix of traditional Ukrainian music infused with a touch of swing.
If you prefer the great outdoors, head outside to the City Hall ice rink, where you can take a spin around the rink and participate in Family Day games and activities in Churchill Square, including drop-in street hockey hosted by Free Play. Warm up by the fire pit with a cup of free hot chocolate.
If you’re looking for indoor activities, the Muttart Conservatory is the place to be. With face painting, a planting activity, sensory play, and crafts, there’s something for everyone. Don’t miss the international art exhibit Gaia by UK artist Luke Jerram. General admission applies.
Don’t forget to participate in the City’s annual Winterscapes photo contest by creating a wintry display in your front yard and submitting your entry before February 27th. You could win some cool prizes!
If you’re still looking for more family fun, check out the Stanley A. Milner Library, the Art Gallery of Alberta, or the Alberta Legislature for free activities and events.
And don’t forget about the Silver Skate Festival at William Hawrelak Park, featuring live music, storytelling, snow sculptures, food vendors, and more.
