DOWNTOWN SPARK MARCH-MAY
WHAT’S HAPPENING Spring has officially arrived and our city is blooming with activity. Downtown Spark, an Explore Edmonton initiative, is in full swing and has already brought two exciting outdoor exhibits and the Al Fresco on 104 Street dining experience to our core. Expect a few more surprises throughout April and May, including the Arts District Animation that will feature three unique, outdoor family-friendly digital experiences on the facades of The Art Gallery of Alberta, Citadel Theatre, and Winspear Centre buildings. There’s also Root 107, which will be hosted at 107 Street & 101 Avenue for a weekend of outdoor dining via local food trucks and more. Visit exploreedmonton.ca for more information and updates. As with all activities, please be sure to monitor the public health and safety guidelines. Changes to outdoor guidelines may lead to cancelations – be sure to check alberta.ca/covid-19

Wild Rose Cakes
This gorgeous floral café looks like a fairy tale with its swoon-worthy blooming displays. Enjoy a nourishing bite while sipping on a signature drink, like their Cloud Latte (it’s topped with cotton candy!). You’ll also find an array of local brands to shop, fresh and everlasting florals, teas and more.
Discover the flavours of Northern Mexico at this new downtown establishment. A rustic-inspired space and showstopping wall mural set the stage for an authentic dining experience. From enchiladas and burritos, to tacos and churros – their menu is rich in variety and calls for repeat visits.
The California inspired Vietnamese sandwiches we never knew we needed has arrived! Fresh French baguettes are baked inhouse daily (and using a family recipe) and create the perfect base for some flavour-packed fillings - like savoury meatball, grilled beef, and tender pork.
This boutique cake studio has just launched a retail space that will offer same day treats a couple times a week! Known for their dazzling pre-order cakes, you can now keep an eye on their Instagram for details on when you can grab a sweet and special treat – like cupcakes, cookies and decadent cake cups!
