Summer may be wrapping up next month, but there’s still lots of time to enjoy the sun and spend some time with friends and family, or even just take in some events by yourself! The best part about some of these events is how close they are to Mainstreet apartments, located all over Edmonton meaning we have something in the right location for you! Like our apartments, many of these events are pet-friendly, too!
So, take a quick browse through this selection and figure out which sounds like the most fun for you. There’s no reason you can’t attend all of them! One of our favourite things about summer is heading outside and enjoying the festivals, events, and celebrations that come along with this awesome season. Whether you want to beat the heat or quell that boredom, we’ve got an Edmonton event for you!

Movies on the Square: Churchill Park
There’s nothing quite so enjoyable as a summer evening spent outside watching a movie on a big screen with lots of others. From the drive-in movies on the edge of town that became so popular in the 1950s and 1960s, we’ve evolved to enjoy these films on screens in inner-city areas like parks and public squares, and the best part? These events are free!
