Weekday Guide: 10 Things to do in Edmonton May 18-22

Here’s your weekday guide - here are the best things to do in Edmonton this Week

Take a Fresh Herb Mocktail Workshop | Tuesday

Gardening season is right around the corner! Learn how to infuse your mocktails with the freshest flavours of early summer. Plan your mocktail garden and prepare for a summer filled with freshly plucked libations. In this interactive workshop, you'll learn to craft three vibrant, alcohol-free beverages using fresh herbs.

Beton Arme on Stage at 9910 | Tuesday

Béton Armé’s sound combines melodic, classic Oi with prime Chaos en France-style vocals and the odd dash of hardcore. Everything stripped down to the essentials – a wall of sound like huge slabs of reinforced concrete, which is what the band’s name means.

From Cradle to Stage: New Play Festival | Tuesday to Sunday

From Cradle to Stage is Walterdale’s new play reading program. Walterdale welcomes original play submissions from local playwrights and offers them the opportunity to share their work, gain audience feedback, and experience a workshop atmosphere through staged readings of their finished, original, and unproduced plays. These works should be between 10-60 minutes in length, of any genre.

An Indigenous Taste at Old Strathcona Farmer’s Market | Wednesday

Experience the market like never before—after hours, under the soft glow of evening, for an intimate dining experience that blends food, culture, and storytelling. Indigenous chef Shane Chartrand curates an exclusive, multi-course menu, sourcing only the freshest ingredients from our market vendors.

So You Think You Know - Chardonnay | Wednesday

Welcome to the world of Chardonnay! This versatile grape gets a bad rap among those who've had the misfortune of only trying one or two styles that they didn't vibe with. Come explore the range that this grape can bring to single varietal wines and blends. We don't believe in the ABC (anything-but-chardonnay) lifestyle and neither should you!

Edmonton Story Slam | Wednesday

Edmonton Story Slam is a lively, community-driven storytelling event where everyday people take the stage to share true, personal stories. Each night centers around a theme, inviting participants to reflect, connect, and entertain through authentic, unscripted moments. Whether you’re telling a story or just listening, it’s an engaging evening full of humor, honesty, and local voices.

Take a Jamaican Patty Cooking Class | Friday

Crowd Worked: Stand up Comedy Show | Friday
