Long Sunday light — brunch, live music, and a final show to catch.
Ten degrees, tons of daylight, and plenty to do before the sun sets at 10.
Morning's sitting at 10°C with a high UV index of 7, so you've got a real summer day shaping up — just bring a layer for now. You're looking at 17 hours of daylight, which means the sun won't dip until just after 10 tonight. Perfect if you're planning an evening out.
If you're thinking brunch or lunch, Cactus Club's got their summer menu rolling with Frosé and smash burgers at nine bucks — solid move. Station Park's food hall reopened with rotating vendors, so that's worth a wander if you want to graze through a few stops. And if ice cream's calling, there's a good six spots across the city worth standing in line for on a day like this.
For something later, grab a cocktail at Clementine — they've built their summer drinks tropical and balanced, exactly what you want when the evening's still warm and the light's stretching. Or if beef ribs are more your speed, there's quality on the west side waiting.
Tonight's got live music: Escape Goat's playing their final show at the Starlite Room at 5:30, with Petrichord, Testify, Sour Cherry Switchblades, Re-form, and King Theory on the bill. It's a proper indie sendoff, the kind of night that'll run late with the late sunset on your side.
If you're not in the mood for a show, there's a University of Philippines volleyball tournament happening at the Edmonton EXPO Centre at 8 this morning — Fighting Maroons in town for a Canada tour if that's your thing.
On the news side, folks are watching the AISH-to-ADAP transition closely as the province pushes forward. Four NDP members aren't running again in 2027, and police are looking for dashcam footage from a north-side shooting — worth knowing if you're out that way. User fees are quietly creeping into Edmonton property taxes too, so might be worth a closer look at your notice when it lands.
Get out and use this light while it's here. Sunday's the day for it.
