We know you’re hungry for more details about the upcoming Parkade Party, and we’re happy to share more with you today!

WHAT: Blink: Parkade Party!
WHERE: Vinci Park 103 (10040 103 Street)
WHEN: Saturday, August 31, 2013 from 6-11pm

The main event that evening will commence at sundown (around 9pm) – an outdoor screening of the iconic 50s musical, Grease!

Join us as we transform a parkade rooftop into a pop-up, temporary park. With food, entertainment, and a unique view of downtown Edmonton, you won’t want to miss this party. Admission is free, but we will be accepting cash donations to support Downtown Proud, a program run by Boyle Street Community Services.

The entertainment line-up will be announced in the coming weeks, but for now we’re excited to share with you our dining options. Fat Franks and Cookie Love will be serving up your carnival favorites!

What to Bring

Media Architecture Design Edmonton (MADE) will be deploying some grass tiles as a way of transforming the parkade landscape, but for your comfort, we’d recommend bringing a chair for the movie screening!

Also, we’re in Edmonton after all, so be prepared for all weather conditions (hats, jackets, blankets) – you just never know!

Access and Parking

The parkade is equipped with an elevator at the 103 Street entrance.

Parking is available in Vinci 103 on the lower levels (P3 and below). The rate is $3/day on Saturdays.
