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.....

Seven thousand dollars bought Edmonton a stadium in 1938, and the ground is still working nearly ninety years later. Clarke Stadium at 11000 Stadium Road NW was the prize of a decade-long campaign by Joseph A. Clarke, the pugnacious mayor who talked the federal government - Prime Minister Mackenzie King was a personal friend - into deeding the city a tract of east-central land for public sports fields, then pushed a stadium through council. The original build seated 2,040 on bleachers with dress.....

Canada's largest open-air stadium was built for eleven days of Commonwealth Games and has anchored Edmonton sport for nearly half a century since. Commonwealth Stadium at 11000 Stadium Road NW in the McCauley neighbourhood, minutes from downtown, opened officially on 15 July 1978 after three years of construction, a 42,500-seat bowl completed on time and on budget for the 1978 Commonwealth Games, whose athletics events and ceremonies it hosted that August as 46 nations competed and Canada delive.....

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.....

The largest convention and exhibition facility in the city, the Edmonton EXPO Centre is a vast multi-purpose venue on the grounds of the city's exhibition park in the northeast of Edmonton. Part of the wider Edmonton EXPO Centre and Exhibition Lands complex, it was built and expanded to give the city a flexible space capable of hosting the largest trade shows, conventions, concerts and community events in the region. The centre offers an enormous amount of adaptable space across multiple halls,.....

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.....

Canada's largest mixed-use sports and entertainment district grew up around a hockey rink - and its outdoor spaces have become downtown Edmonton's concert grounds. ICE District, centred at 104 Avenue and 102 Street around Rogers Place arena, programs two major open-air venues: the 50,000-square-foot ICE District Plaza and the Fan Park on the former Baccarat Casino site east of the arena. The district transformed a parking-lot quarter: anchored by Rogers Place, the 2016-opened home of the Edmont.....

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 .....
