Friday, October 16 to Sunday, October 18, 2026
Edmonton pulls out a bit of everything this weekend. From Friday, October 16 to Sunday, October 18, 2026, the calendar mixes twang, laughs, drama and ice. Oil City Opry brings its road-worn country revue to the Winspear, comedian Jiaoying Summers takes over the Comic Strip stage, and the Oil Kings close it out Sunday with a home game against the Victoria Royals at Rogers Place. Add the Citadel's new drama Our Little Secret and the after-dark pumpkin walk at Borden Park, and you get five outings that cover music, theatre, family fun and sport without overlapping much. Call it a balanced weekend: something for the ticket-holders, something for the families, something for the sports crowd.
If none of those dates line up with your schedule, the city still has plenty going on any day of the week, from e-bike food tours to brewery crawls. This list of things to do in Edmonton this weekend rounds up the shows worth booking and a few ways to fill the rest of your time. Scroll down and start planning.
