WHAT’S HAPPENING: Even with the chillier temperatures and shorter days arriving in Edmonton, there is definitely a sense of excitement the air. November brings the anticipation of all that’s festive and fun, and there’s no better way to kick-start the holidays than with the annual All is Bright festival on 124 Street. Celebrate the winter season with twinkling lights, a night market filled with local treats, food trucks, fun winter activities, and so much more! Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 20th from 4pm-8pm and get ready to count-down to the festivities! This free community event takes over the 124 street area and features a main stage located at Helen Nolan Park, where families and guests of all ages can enjoy live music and an exciting light-up ceremony.

Holiday Gifting x Local
Gifting season is here! With all the news about shipping delays and product shortages, I think this is definitely the year to think outside of the (shipping) box and support some of the amazing shops Edmonton has to offer! Impress everyone on your nice list with local treats and unique experiences– trust me, you’ll win the holidays with options from this gift guide:
Who doesn’t love a good hair day? Surprise someone with an elevated salon experience that will leave them feeling relaxed and looking their best. From cuts and colours, to botanical treatments (personal fave!) and great haircare products, there’s something for even the pickiest giftee on your list. Plus, they just got some of their limited edition holiday gift boxes!
The ultimate experience for those who have a sweet tooth! Learn the ways of Edmonton’s most celebrated bakeshop with classes that show you how to create cakes, pies, and brioche (to name a few). Lessons are led by all-star teachers who have all worked at Duchess and include the supplies you need. I tried the apple pie virtual class with my mom and loved it.
The AGA is an incredible place to visit in our city, so why not gift a membership to the gallery and have a special someone enjoy it all year long? Membership perks include admission into the gallery for a year, invitations to exhibition openings and special events, 10% discount on programming and much more!
Flowers are always a good idea – a floral subscription is an even better one. Choose the frequency and your preferred bloom style (their super chic bloom box is always gorgeous). Got a plant lover in your life? There’s also plant subscriptions available, complete with a curated pot in each delivery. So. Cute.
Happy holiday shopping! x
