Discover Edmonton’s most innovative and sustainable community at the Blatchford Block Party! This FREE event on Saturday, June 21, 2025 is your opportunity to explore this warm, welcoming neighbourhood that has been designed with the future in mind.
Blatchford is not your average community — it’s a one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly neighbourhood being built on the former site of Canada’s first licensed airfield. It is leading the way in green living through energy-efficient homes, central living, and connected green spaces. Blatchford’s planet-friendly design and award-winning innovations in renewable energy have even earned it the title of 2023 Best New Community by CHBA National and Edmonton Region
The Blatchford Block Party will take place in Littlewood Park. Just look for the soaring red and white former air control tower – you can’t miss it! It’s also just a few steps from the iconic Tomato Playground, just one of the many family-friendly features that may make you want to call Blatchford home. There’s a lot to love from the bike paths, gravel trails around the scenic stormwater pond, warming hut and community gardens, to the diverse home styles, unique pedestrian-only street (Yorke Mews), and 10 minute walk to the LRT!
Come discover everything the community has to offer while enjoying the FREE festivities:
🏘️ Take a community tour to discover Blatchford’s amenities (did you know it’s designed to have significantly more greenspace than a typical Edmonton community?), learn about its sustainable features, and visit some eco-friendly show homes. Choose to join in the 60 minute guided tour, or explore on your own with a self-guided tour.
🗺️ Visit each of the four show homes on the showhome map and collect stamps to be exchanged for a complimentary food truck ticket. Maps will be available at the main community tent and complimentary food tickets will be available until the food trucks sell out.
