ALL IS BRIGHT FESTIVAL 124 STREET
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 things 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 countdown 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.

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.
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 per cent 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).
