Multiple location across Alberta Avenue, Edmonton, AB, T5B 0S7 [map]

Led by YEG Ambassadors in partnership with REACH Edmonton and the Alberta Avenue BIA.

We’re gearing up for another exciting summer on Alberta Avenue, and we need your help to make it happen.

Local businesses, community partners, and vendors are coming together to host a series of Night Markets that celebrate the unique spirit of the Alberta Avenue neighborhood. Each market will be held in a different location, with its own vibe that reflects the featured business.
