Edmonton's getting a bunch of new murals and there's a party to celebrate
Edmonton is about to get a fresh coat of colour, and there’s a massive party taking place to celebrate the occasion.
Mural Massive, a block party celebrating a week of mural painting in Old Strathcona and Downtown, is back for its fourth year in a row, and it’s the perfect send-off for summer. This year’s party takes place September 2 at the Grindstone Theatre.
Mural Massive
“Anchored on celebrating the diverse arts and theatre culture that makes Edmonton so darn rad, the festival is a week of live mural painting, culminating with a block party full of fun, drinks, dancing, art, mayhem, and more!” the festival site says.
New murals are being painted in the following places, with more locations to be announced:
- Scotiabank on Whyte Avenue
- Numo Cannabis on 107th Avenue
- Trust Law on 80th Avenue
Music at the event will feature a whole host of local artists, such as Carter and the Capitals, Kate Stevens, Sour, and Ntwali, plus an electronic music after-party with artists out of Vancouver. A full lineup of artists and comedy acts is also expected to be announced soon.
