A floating room under a restaurant keeps Edmonton's underground dancing. 99ten - the name is the address, 9910 109 Street NW - is a nightclub and live music venue in downtown Edmonton, built directly below The Common restaurant and opened, in the owners' words, to fill the void left behind by the city's closing venues. The construction is the calling card: a fully floating sound room in which no wall or pillar touches the building's foundation, so the audio behaves like a recording studio - noth.....

Citadel Theatre Parking at 9828 101A Avenue NW is the parkade serving the Citadel Theatre complex on Churchill Square in downtown Edmonton. The Citadel - founded in 1965 in a former Salvation Army citadel and housed since 1976 in its landmark Barton Myers-designed brick-and-glass complex - is the third largest regional theatre in Canada, containing the Shoctor, Maclab and Rice theatres, Zeidler Hall, the Tucker Amphitheatre and the indoor Lee Pavilion gardens. The parking facility provides direc.....

Alberta's legendary radio station CKUA broadcast from this turn-of-the-century block for decades; now the brickwork echoes to touring DJs and sold-out club nights. Double Dragon at 10524 Jasper Avenue opened in 2023 in the historic Alberta Block downtown, the latest venture from the Edmonton hospitality team behind Fu's Repair Shop - the acclaimed cocktail-and-Chinese-food bar repeatedly voted among the city's best - with which it shares the building, alongside sibling room Dolly's Cocktail Bar......

Princess Diana celebrated her twenty-second birthday in Edmonton in the summer of 1983, and one of her first stops was a brand-new convention centre burrowed into a river bank. The Edmonton Convention Centre at 9797 Jasper Avenue opened officially on 22 June 1983 after one of the largest soil excavations ever attempted in the province - roughly 12,000 truckloads of earth carved out of Grierson Hill so the building could cascade down the north slope of the North Saskatchewan River valley. Archit.....

Rolling Stone once proclaimed the festival held on this hillside the hippest on the continent. Gallagher Park, on the southern slope of the North Saskatchewan River valley in Edmonton's Cloverdale neighbourhood, is a city park named for early-1900s mayor Cornelius Gallagher - and since 1981 it has been the home of the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, one of Canada's most celebrated music events. The park's defining feature is the hill itself: a natural amphitheatre where tens of thousands sit on t.....

A service club with a ten-year lease and a big idea turned a river flat into Edmonton's festival lawn. Kinsmen Park, at 9100 Walterdale Hill NW on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River between the High Level Bridge and Walterdale Road, is a 21-hectare river-valley park that doubles as one of the city's favourite outdoor concert and festival grounds. The story begins in 1953, when the Kinsmen Club of Edmonton - founded in 1925 - secured a 58-acre lease on the Walterdale Flats and spent .....

A modern live-music and entertainment venue in south Edmonton, Midway Music Hall opened in 2019 to fill a gap in the city's mid-sized circuit. Housed in a spacious building and designed as an immersive cultural hub, the twenty-thousand-square-foot venue was built around a large stage and in-house production capabilities, quickly establishing itself as one of the city's most innovative and adaptable rooms for live entertainment. The venue holds around fourteen hundred and fifty people, operating.....

It is owned outright by 30,000 students - a concert hall run and financed by the University of Alberta Students' Union since the day it opened. The Myer Horowitz Theatre, inside the Students' Union Building at 8900 114 Street in Edmonton, opened in 1967 as the SUB Theatre. The design was innovative for its day: theatre designer James Hull Miller shaped the original 720-seat hall, which welcomed over a million patrons in its first decades as both a rental house and a presenter - roughly 250 even.....

Alberta built itself twin concert halls for its 50th birthday - identical buildings in Edmonton and Calgary, gifted to the province as a memorial to its pioneers. The Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium at 11455 87 Avenue NW, beside the University of Alberta campus, is the Edmonton half of the pair. The project was a provincial statement: designed by the Alberta Department of Public Works with international acoustic consultants, built between 1955 and 1957 for a combined 12 million dollars, and.....

The name came back from the dead: the original Pawn Shop on Whyte Avenue was the room where a generation of Edmonton bands played their first shows before economics closed it in 2015. Pawn Shop Live, at 6240 99 Street NW - the building that spent 22 years as Union Hall - opened under its revived name on 16 January 2026. The backstory is a two-venue merger: when the Whyte Avenue Pawn Shop closed, much of its staff migrated to Union Hall, the 20,000-square-foot south-side event hall; a decade lat.....
