The vendor market at Glow is the perfect place to begin holiday shopping, and there's plenty of food available to keep hungry shoppers happy as well.
Alberta Ballet's The Nutcracker
For some, the holiday season is not complete until they see a performance of The Nutcracker. Luckily for those living in Edmonton or those visiting the city in December, Alberta Ballet presents The Nutcracker each year. The 2019 performances will take place from December 5 through December 8 at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. This is the ideal way to kick off the holiday season, especially for families who want to support the arts. One interesting fact about the performance is that it features more than 100 children from the Edmonton area. As this is a popular tradition in Edmonton, those who are interested in seeing one of the performances this holiday season are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance. The show often sells out.
Third Annual Bubbles Festival
The holiday season is the perfect excuse to drink champagne and other bubbling beverages. Luckily for those in Edmonton, there's an entire festival dedicated to these sparkling drinks. The Third Annual Bubbles Festival is scheduled to take place from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on December 7 in nearby Sherwood Park.
