Taste of Edmonton
We spend so much time indoors during winter months that when an outdoor food festival hits town, we ferociously chow down, sharing plates with friends and strangers.But Taste of Edmonton also uses the food fest as an opportunity to showcase different performers across the region.
Wednesday, July 25, is country night and St. Albert’s Dan Davidson headlines at 9 p.m. Opening for the Canadian Country Music Association nominee is Olivia Rose at 6:30 p.m. followed by 2018 Edmonton Music Award recipient The Dungarees at 7:30 p.m.
The free outdoor concert takes place at Capital Plaza, 99 Avenue and 108 Street near the Legislature.
