Downtown Spark

Downtown Spark is back again in 2024 and we’re filling Downtown streets with fun and whimsical art installations from around the world, alongside some of Edmonton’s best talent. Wander the streets to see the works of art come to life and enjoy Downtown’s wonderful businesses along the way.

Festival-goers are encouraged enjoy performers and food trucks at Alex Decouteau Park. Running over two weekends, Downtown Spark will feature free family-friendly (and even pet-friendly) events each Saturday.

Kick off festival season with the hottest downtown art party. Downtown Spark runs for 10 days, starting at the end of May each year. Tell your friends; it’s free to attend.

We bring in art installations from around the world and energize the spaces near them with dance parties, concerts, dog parties, family-friendly events and a good old fashioned block party. Every year is different.
