Events in the Village
Walking Crayons, Minute Princesses & Draculas Navigate the Village
Village residents get curiouser and shorter every year!
On October 31st, the merchants of Edgemont opened their doors to more than 300 of our neighbourhood’s finest! From day’s start, the Village was filled with the excited sounds of our costumed children making their way from store to store, admiring one another along the way, all thrilled to be dressed up for the entire day.
Representing the Animal Kingdom we had lions, tigers, elephants, dinosaurs, cats and a skunk. From the Spooky Realm there were ghosts, witches, goblins, vampires, skeletons, zombies and werewolves.
Crimefighters watching out for the Village were Superman, Spiderman, The Green Hornet, Batman and The Incredibles. (We can definitely sleep at night!)
Rounding out the venue were the princesses, fairies, pirates, firemen, scientists (mad), pumpkins, Minnie Mouses and Zorros.
A third year event for the Village, one young Trick-or-Treater proclaimed, “This is the best Halloween ever!” We couldn’t agree more!

Seasonal Events
Harvest Festival This free, village-wide street fair sees the community packed with 5000 attendees who come to enjoy a variety of family-friendly, all-day events. From bands on the main stage, to Irish dancers, a ventriloquist, or The Extreme bike show with Dangerous Dan — there’s something for everyone.
Christmas in The Village Come December, Edgemont Village transforms into a winter wonderland. Each Christmas, we decorate our distinctive, red lamp standards to resemble giant candy canes and light the trees on the street corners and boulevards. Carolers line the streets, Santa makes an annual stop for a day of photos with kids (and pets!) and community contests add to the buzz.
Evenings in Edgemont As surely as summer arrives, so does live music come to Edgemont Village on Friday nights throughout July and August. This joint initiative with the Parks and Recreation Commission has been a resounding success from its first note 9 summers ago. Here, in our extremely beautiful natural setting, we are able to present the sounds of 8 diverse, professional bands for families to enjoy while spending time with their friends and neighbours right in the heart of the village. Attendance at these evenings has grown to average 1200 to 1500 or more; the series finale in August, at which we share the evening with Public Dreams Society and the Wild Lights festival, has attracted attendees of up to 5000.
