The warmer weather in Edmonton means that summer is fast approaching, and that has us excited because the free outdoor movies in Sir Winston Churchill Square are officially set to return!
Starting on Tuesday, May 28, a massive inflatable screen will be set up in the heart of downtown Edmonton for Movies on the Square.
It’s the perfect urban environment to take in a favourite flick — just be sure to bring your lawn chairs and/or blankets.
