Hello Edmonton and surrounding areas!
It is a big one out there today and tomorrow. PrideFest fills Fan Park this afternoon before Sunday's parade takes over downtown, the Canadian Derby runs its 97th race at Century Mile, and farmers markets are set up from St. Albert to Spruce Grove. Add VegFest, a monster truck throwdown out in Leduc County, the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival closing out its run in Old Strathcona and the CPKC Women's Open wrapping up Sunday at Royal Mayfair, and there is genuinely something for everyone across both days.
Here is your full lineup for Saturday and Sunday, sorted by day so you can plan around it. Enjoy the weekend.

Weekend Weather: Saturday August 22 to Sunday August 23
Saturday is the warmer of the two, sunny with a high near 27C easing into a mild evening around 24C. Sunday cools off slightly, still sunny with a high near 25C and a comfortable evening around 20C.
Good weather for anything on this list, but grab a light layer for those evening shows once the sun starts dropping.
