Events Roundup
March 12, 2026
This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot co-founder, Mack Male. Mack recommends [Arts District Day] a free, block-party–style celebration of creativity, community, and culture.
Arts District Day
📅 Saturday, March 14 11:00 AM
📍 Art Gallery of Alberta
Celebrate Arts District Day in the Heart of Downtown Edmonton!
Here's what Mack had to say:
"While I don't think everything needs to be a district, there's no question that downtown has an incredible set of arts destinations that you should definitely explore. I hope the Arts District concept catches on. For this particular event, I'm intrigued by the block-party-style celebration, and I look forward to some non-construction activity on the streets for a change!"
