The Weekly: Edmonton - Here are the Best Things to do in Edmonton this Week - October 4-10
The Weekly shares the coolest events, pop-ups and trendiest hotspots in Edmonton and is curated by @yeg.date.
Welcome to Volume 4 of The Weekly: Edmonton. This is the brand new weekly email curated with the best things to do in Edmonton, food and drink pop-ups you should know about, trendy-hotspots and the best new places to explore in the city.
Looking for the best events, haunted houses, activities and experiences this October? This year we have all the best Edmonton Halloween events on Yeg.date. Find over 30 experiences to give you the scare of a life time.
This week, start planning your Halloween costume with a visit to theatre garage. This weekend, we popped in for a visit to Theatre Garage and wow - we were blown away. From costume accessories, to rentals, you’ll find the most epic halloween costume for your friends, a couples costume or solo costume that’s going to bring you one step closer to winning a costume contest wherever you choose to celebrate Halloween.
renting a costume is actually less expensive than splurging on a costume and accessories (and who wants leftover costumes stashed in the back of your closet?)
When you rent a costume from Theatre Garage for Halloween, it’s for the whole month.
Theatre Garage has an incredible selection of size inclusive costumes. I’ve never been more relieved to try on costumes (and easily find something that fits) Seriously, there are costumes for every body.
The professional make-up line is incredible, and their expert staff even hold workshops! (find those, right here)
