Weekend itineraries: get ready for the holiday season

This annual event is a tour that takes you around rural venues in the northern part of Strathcona County. Each location will be set up as a different aspect of a traditional Christmas and has different things to see and do!  If you haven’t started your holiday shopping yet, this is a great way to get some unique pieces by local artisans and crafters. Don’t miss the ice carvings, Ukrainian melodies, and more this weekend thanks to the Josephburg Agricultural Society. Don’t miss the fireworks to end the celebration!

Are you looking for some authentic Vietnamese cuisine close to home? Look no further. Banh Mi Zon prepares fresh food daily to satisfy those cravings – while working with dietary restrictions. They have a broad menu for you to choose from, and they bake their own bread fresh each day! If you haven’t tried them out yet, you’re missing out. Catch up on this delicious local spot this weekend.

The Makers Keep opened a location in Sherwood Park two years ago – have you checked it out yet? This collective boutique is stocked full of locally made handcrafted items and is a great way to support local artisans if you’re doing any shopping for an upcoming holiday. Shopping here is a great way to enjoy the vibe of a craft market but on your own schedule this busy holiday season. Stop by their location in Broadmoor Plaza and take a look this weekend!
