Downtown Spark returns to Edmonton May 24, 2023 for a full ten-days of art, festival and music in downtown Edmonton. From viewing public art, to taking part in pop-up and dance parties -

There are two main art exhibits popping up downtown: Designs in Air and Evanescent.

Designs in Air encourages you to look up, and find some magic in the air. There are a total of four locations where you’ll find inflatable monsters popping up downtown: Campio Brewing Co., CKUA Building, Enbridge Centre, ATB Place. Downtown Spark has created a great map you can follow, here.

Evanescent is popping up in Churchill Square, by Atelier Sisu. Atelier Sisu creates experiential environments, installations and unique sculptural pieces. Each public artwork aims to provide a unique spatial experience for its visitors, while also contributing to the visual identity of a place and promoting community interaction.

Downtown Spark Events 2023

Urban Jungle. Returning this year, you can climb on the Urban Jungle, by Vignettes. This fun, ribbon jungle for kids is an incredible place to lounge, and enjoy the Downtown Spark block parties. You can find the Urban Jungle at 10230 105 St NW. Plan a food truck lunch or dinner, and bring a swimsuit, and splash in the water in the adjacent park.
