Community concerts include Live at Lunch and Green Shack Shows.

A plethora of farmers' markets provide locally made goods, food and drinks.

These are organized by thousands of citizens who bring people from all over together.

When Make Something Edmonton and Edmonton Made asked people to contribute ideas

we re-imagined our city, and formed as a local startup based in Edmonton to share our creations.

We also run DiscoveryLab events for entrepreneurs to pitch plans for free to improve our world.
