There’s nothing quite like summer in the city - long sunny days, golden hour patio hangs, and that buzz of “what are we doing this weekend?"
Whether you’re planning a laid-back lake day, refreshing your summer wardrobe, or just chasing good vibes with great food, we’ve got what you need!
Lake Day Essentials
Before you hit the beach, float down the river, or set up your backyard oasis, swing by for:
- Stylish swimwear from H&M or Swimco
- Giant floaties and water toys from Canadian Tire
- Beach-ready games & snacks from Walmart
- Sunhats & summer shades from Winners
- And of course, that last-minute sunscreen you meant to pack
Bonus: Cute beach totes and a portable speaker = instant main character energy.
Fuel Up
After a day in the sun, it’s time to treat yourself. South Edmonton Common is packed with mouthwatering options:
- Blanco Cantina - tacos, tequila, and bold Mexican flavours in the ultimate summer-ready atmosphere. Their patio? Chef’s kiss.
- Kinjo Sushi & Grill - a fan-favourite for sushi, ramen, and Japanese comfort food. It’s fresh, flavourful, and perfect for lunch or date night.
- Joey, Earls, or Moxies - pick your patio and stay for dessert
Whatever you’re into, we’ve got a table (or takeout bag) with your name on it.
Outdoor Adventures
Got hikes, road trips, or spontaneous weekend plans on the calendar? Gear up at:
- SportChek for runners, water bottles, and all your active essentials
- MEC for trail-ready backpacks, apparel, and gear
- Walmart for the ultimate snack haul
