After what felt like an exceptionally busy weekend, seven days ago, this weekend appears a little tamer.
There's going to be so much art here.
But there’s still plenty of good stuff around. And don’t you even think this signals a slowdown. The Capital Ex, Indy, Heritage Days, Taste of Edmonton, Fringe run is going to test your festival abilities.
As Sally brought to our attention earlier today, ArtWalk takes over Whyte Avenue this weekend. And a little rain isn’t going to stop the art.
Rain also hasn’t stopped the Street Performers Festival, wrapping up this weekend.
Angela reminded us that FAVA is partying today.
In music…Lily Fawn and her Lullaby band are at at The ARTery.
SOS Fest participants Wool on Wolves are playing Brixx, Saturday night. Jazz is at Wunderbar. It’ll be like you didn’t even miss them last weekend.
Blue Oyster Cult‘s at the Century Casino, Saturday night. Peter Frampton is tenting it up at River Cree.
The Pawn Shop is holding an undiscovered singing competition. Don’t forget about the Party Tent. (How could you though?) And Edmonton has a new blues bar. Rusty Reed’s opens with Big Dave McLean.
Gregg will probably be seeing Inception this weekend. It’s one of this month’s more anticipated films.
In sports…the Capitals play ball. (That means fireworks Friday night.)
You are clearly the person to ask – I can’t find info anywhere else. Do you know if the Street Sale will take place with the Art Walk like on Sunday?
Sounds like they are sticking to the sidewalks. I think the SOS Fest got the street sale this year (last weekend.)
But…if they close the street it will be Sunday. I’ll take a peek out there Sunday and post here and tweet if they close it down again.
They didn’t close the street. I think they might have timed things out last year to coincide with the Art-Walk.
I suspect they’ll stick with the SOS Fest for the street sale next year too.
Or…they could just be bold and close it down a couple of times. That would be fun.
