Farewell to Winter Patio Party

You can feel it in the air, that wonderful hint of spring floating around Edmonton this week. While I'm sure winter will come screaming back at least once before we can really start to celebrate spring, the weather is set to stay on the plus side of zero for the foreseeable future. So it's excellent timing for the "Farewell to Winter Patio Party" happening around Edmonton this weekend. 

Snuggle up with a blanket, a glass of mulled wine or a café mocha with a friend on one of Edmonton's beautiful patios, March 14-16. Or celebrate at home - sweep off the deck, uncover the barbeque, and soak up some much needed Vitamin D (now available thanks to Daylight Savings Time). If you're one of the lucky ones, off to do some spring skiing this weekend, at least we…

Tons of Winter Fun at Silver Skate Festival

It’s not surprising that The Silver Skate Festival is the longest running winter festival in the City of Edmonton. It’s a ton of fun! Get your mittens and toque and head to Hawrelak Park for a day full of winter activities. The festival runs until February 23rd, with a host of different events happening every day.

We went on Family Day and it was packed, although there was a bit of a line up to get into the park, there is plenty of free parking on site. There is also a $2 ETS shuttle from the U of A.

There is plenty to do at the festival, including skating, horse drawn sleigh rides, cross country skiing, show shoeing, and face painting, all of which are free! Our kids particularly enjoyed the snow maze, ice slide, and make your own cabane à sucre…
