Top 10 Things to do in Strathcona, Canada

August 6, 2021 Merry Kessler

As North America’s northernmost large metropolis, Edmonton is a fascinating study in contrasts — a vibrant urban center in the heart of the wilderness. It’s a city that’s never been afraid to do things a little differently, as visitors discover through close encounters with free-roaming bison, a shopping mall that spans more than 48 city blocks, and a dynamic arts and culture scene that embraces more than 40 annual festivals, including the continent’s biggest and wildest Fringe Theatre Festival.

We spent about an hour and a half here, and we almost had enough samples to call it lunch. From pasta to caramels to whiskey to tzatziki (best tzatziki ever), it seemed like over half the places were handing out their nibbles for everyone to try. We also enjoyed shopping for some reasonably priced jewelry and some fresh produce. The place was bustling, but everyone is so nice that it's pretty easy to maneuver with a little patience.

High Level Bridge Streetcar

Open May Long weekend to October each year, the streetcar's views of the city and the river are absolutely amazing. This is also the best way to get from the farmer's market to downtown.

Reviewed By Beachbabyfish - Edmonton, Canada

We have ridden this street car 3 times. Each time it was a fun event. Saw the beautiful colors in the river valley in the fall. Did a private function when we also did a ride in the early evening. Saw the city lights in early evening. We took out of town visitors for an afternoon ride. Lots of fun. Knowledgeable conductor as well.

The Next Act Pub

Reviewed By lindseyo361 - Edmonton, Canada

Never anything but a great meal here! This is one of my favourite places to bring friends from out of town when they visit. It’s always busy, but it’s easy to see why. Never have to wait long for a table, though. My most recent trip I had the donair with brisket from MEAT next door. It was so fantastic! I was so happy I opted for the side salad. It was such a great side salad! Fresh berries, almonds, pea shoots YUM! Seriously, get both. Or the Mac and cheese which is also incredible!

Fringe Theatre Adventures

Fringe Theatre is for YOU because fringing is for everyone! It’s an experience that captivates and cultivates. It brings artists and audiences together to celebrate creativity, risk, craft, and community. Together, we are transforming theatre, fostering artists, and taking chances – all year long!

Reviewed By danielb0987 - Edmonton, Canada

I have been going to the fringe festival every year for the past 10 years. Most people like me who live in Edmonton can say the same thing, however, I actually go to watch the theatre. Many people will say they have been to the fringe but you can’t say that with out going to live theatre. It’s shocking the amount of great talent people miss out on every year. You can find street performers anywhere at anytime, when will you see so many world class live shows. Again if you don’t see any shows you can’t say you have ever been to the fringe.
