Folk Fest morning, AC/DC tonight — Sunday's got range
13 degrees, high UV, and two very different ways to spend your day. Sunset's at 9:15 PM, so you've got time for both if you're keen.
Sunday morning in E-town, and you're looking at a solid one — 13°C, which means throw a light layer on if you're heading out early, but you won't need much else. UV's sitting at 6, which is high, so sunscreen if you're planning to be out for hours. The light's going to stick around until 9:15 PM, so evening plans have real room to breathe.
One thing to clock before you move: if you're heading east-west on the Yellowhead anytime soon, know that the 184 Street overpass closure kicks off tomorrow and runs for three months. Not today's problem yet, but worth filing away if that's your usual route.
If you want to ease into the day with some live music and people-watching, the Edmonton Folk Festival is running at Gallagher Park starting at 11 AM. It's outdoors, it's the kind of Sunday vibe that feels right, and the weather's cooperating — no rain risk, decent light all day.
For lunch or an afternoon bite, you've got some solid moves. Lingnan's has been anchoring family dinners around Edmonton for over 70 years with their egg rolls — that's a reliable Sunday move. If you're craving something newer, Bazaar just brought Ukrainian street food to Station Park over in Old Strathcona, which pairs nicely with a walk around the Ave. And if Whyte's your direction, Greg Sweeney's HOM Street Food just took over the kitchen at Bibo's, so that's worth a taste.
Come evening, things get interesting. AC/DC is rolling through Commonwealth Stadium at 7 PM with The Pretty Reckless, and that's the kind of Sunday night that doesn't come around often. The Buckingham's also hosting a Kiki Lounge and Ball Fundraiser at the same time if that's more your speed. Both are indoor, both start at 7, so it comes down to what kind of energy you're chasing — stadium rock or something more intimate.
If you've got Telus, heads up: there are multiple outages across the city that have been running for a while now. Not today's specific news, but it's worth knowing if you're trying to stay connected.
Sunday's yours — whether that's Folk Fest this morning or AC/DC tonight, or you're hitting both and making it a real day of it. Get outside early if you can; the light's on your side all day.
Stay sorted.
