Discover Edmonton’s most innovative and sustainable community at the Blatchford Summer Kickoff! This FREE family-friendly event on Saturday, June 20, 2026, is your opportunity to explore this warm, welcoming neighbourhood, see how much it’s grown, and learn about its future-focused design.
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, and it was recently shortlisted for an Emerald Award in the Climate Adaptation & Resilience category.
The Blatchford Summer Kickoff will take place in Littlewood Park. Just look for the red and white former air traffic 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 separated bike lanes, trails around the scenic stormwater pond, warming hut and community gardens, to the diverse home styles, unique pedestrian-only street (Yorke Mews), and a quick 10-minute walk to the LRT!
Come discover everything the community has to offer while enjoying the FREE festivities:
🏘️ Explore the community to discover Blatchford’s amenities (did you know it’s designed to have significantly more greenspace than a typical Edmonton community?), visit some eco-friendly show homes, and chat with builders. With great options for buying or renting, being a part of the community is within reach.
🗺️ Grab a map and answer trivia questions as you explore the community’s green spaces, pedestrian streets, paths, trails, and playgrounds. You’ll have a chance to win a prize!
🎶 Enjoy live entertainment from talented local artists, including Kaeley Jade.
🍦 Savour delicious BBQ eats and ice cream treats from some of the best local vendors in the city!
🎨 Enjoy kid-friendly activities like face-painting.
🐶 Bring your four-legged family members and try out Blatchford’s new Bark Park!
Don’t miss the celebration on Saturday, June 20! Located right in the heart of the city, Blatchford is easy to get to by car, bike, or LRT. Whether you’re considering relocating, interested in sustainable architecture, or simply looking for a fun and informative day out, Edmonton’s most forward-thinking neighbourhood is ready to welcome you and show you around!
