Edmonton Weekday Guide - 10 Things to do in Edmonton this Week - July 27 - 31, 2026
The weekend gets all the hype, but the middle of the week is quietly where Edmonton's having the most fun. We're talking mocktail trivia at a liquor store, drag bingo with your takeout, $5 movies, free trivia with real prizes, and a fish fry worth building your Friday around. Here's your week, sorted — no need to wait for Saturday.
Here’s your Edmonton Weekday Guide -
Sherbrooke Mocktails & Masterminds | Tuesday
A liquor store throwing a dry night out. Two hours of hands-on mocktail building with zero-proof spirits and fresh ingredients, broken up by trivia rounds — pop culture, music, food, travel, plus a few drink-nerd curveballs. You leave knowing techniques you'll actually repeat at home. Refunds up to seven days out, so commit early. Tuesday just got interesting.
$5 Tuesdays at Metro Cinema: Obsession | Tuesday
It’s back! Metro Cinema is once again offering a new budget-friendly ticket option during June, July, and August: starting on June 2, our Tuesday admission price will be reduced to just $5. This week, catch Obsession on the big screen.
Bentstick Brewing Drag Bingo | Tuesday
Bingo, but loud. Edmonton's Bearded Beauty runs the cards while the room competes for points across mini-games, trivia, and crowd lip-sync battles — prizes on the line. Bring takeout, they encourage it; there's a concession but nobody's judging your pad thai. Community seating means solo attendees get a table and instant company. Doors 7, free parking, 18+, non-refundable. Best Tuesday you'll have this month.
Take a Felted Owl Wool Workshop | Wednesday
Transform loose wool roving into a sweet little owl with its own distinct personality! In this workshop, we’ll use a special barbed needle to sculpt and tangle wool fibers into a beautiful night bird. Whether you want to craft a tiny howlet, a classic barn owl, or any other owl that catches your fancy, the choice is entirely yours.
Free Trivia Night at Frank’s | Wednesday
All that useless knowledge you've been hoarding? Wednesday is payday. Frank's runs free-to-play trivia every week at 7 PM in Mill Creek — no cover, real prizes, and bragging rights that last exactly seven days. Tables fill fast and complete teams get priority seating, so round up your sharpest friends and show up early. Ol' Beautiful Brewing Co. is sponsoring. Grab a grilled cheese, grab a seat, and defend your title.
Launch Party: Stay with Me | Wednesday
A mother and a daughter telling the same story from opposite sides of it. Rhonda Webster's debut is a portrait of bipolar disorder written without softening — illustrated by her daughter-in-law, honest about what the illness takes from a family. The launch brings a reading from Webster, signed copies, and a room where mental health gets talked about plainly. Come for the book. Stay for the conversation.
FREE Open Mic Comedy Night at Grindstone | Wednesday
Every week Wednesday at 10PM The Grindstone hosts one of Edmonton's only Stand-Up Comedy Open Mics to give first timers a chance to take a huge risk, and pros a chance to work on new material. Each set is 5 minutes, with a light at 4 minutes.
Bistrot Burger Pop Up | Friday to Sunday
Three nights, one burger, zero regrets. Vagabond Popups and Juice Imports hand the pass to chef Marcus for a bistrot-style burger takeover at Wilfred's (10429 121 St NW), 5–11pm nightly.
Fish & Chips Friday Returns to Sabor | Friday
Every Friday in August, Sabor fries up crispy fish and chips to go: $15 gets the plate plus a drink, with proceeds to Ronald McDonald House and Santas Anonymous. Starts 11am, downtown at 10220 103 Street — go early, it sells out.
4 Elements Dining Experience at Halo | Friday
The 4 Elements Dinner at HALO Bar | Bistro is an immersive, multi-sensory culinary event where the forces of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air are brought to life directly on your dining table using cinematic 3D projections, atmospheric effects, and a highly thematic multi-course menu.
And that's your week handled. Skip the "there's nothing to do" trap — from Tuesday mocktails to Friday's fish fry, the best nights out are hiding in plain sight on the calendar. Bookmark the blog, we refresh it every week, and follow us for the events that sell out before they hit anyone else's radar. Now go make a Tuesday count.
