7 incredible things to get up to in Edmonton this week: March 27 to 31

If you feel like this month just totally flew by, you’re not alone.

March in Edmonton has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. From hosting what is likely the most memorable Juno Awards in recent years, to welcoming back a host of festivals and expos, to ringing in a new season. March has also been tragic for the city, with the unfortunate loss of two Edmonton Police officers earlier this month.

As we prepare to wave goodbye to March and hello to April, check out some of the best things to do around town this week:
