This year marks the 15th anniversary of Kaleido and we’re celebrating with surprises all summer long. Wander the Alberta Avenue District (NAIT–Northlands, 75 St–106 St / 111 Ave–Yellowhead) to find art installations, chalk art, The Front Porch Series, and mystery buskers. Feel more comfortable staying in? Follow our website in the coming weeks for Kaleido-ing DIYs and behind the scene glimpses.
September 11–13, 2020 will be the weekend of the Kaleido 2020 on Tour showcase, featuring a variety of music, dance, and acrobatics. Travelling on flatbed trucks, these musicians and street performers will show up at a location where everyone can safely watch and enjoy, perform for a limited time, and drive away. Because spontaneity is the key to Kaleido 2020 on Tour, we encourage everyone to follow our social feeds for announcements.
We are monitoring Alberta Health Service's directions closely and will follow all safety guidelines. Kaleido is going to look different this year, but we will continue to cultivate the arts and foster community spirit.
The show must roll on!
The Kaleido Festival is organized by The Arts on the Ave Edmonton Society, a non-profit, community based, grassroots initiative engaged in development of 118th Avenue into a community arts district.
Programming may be subject to change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
