There’s a street in Edmonton home to some of the city’s most beautiful murals and most delicious dishes.
Edmonton’s 124th Street is known for having the best markets, food, shops, and more. Its vibrant culture is widely spread throughout the central part of the city. Whether it’s summer or winter, this part of Edmonton is bound to have something great to offer.
Need a bite to eat? This street has got you covered. You want to find some new threads? There’s a shop right next door with your name on it.
If you’re looking for a night on the town or just strolling about the city, this is a street not to miss.
Unbeatable food options
No matter if it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there will be something here for you.
In terms of breakfast, I’d have to recommend OEB Breakfast Co., tucked into a street corner. I’ve been a few times, and I totally recommend it. With delicious eggs and fresh ingredients, it’s the best way to start the day.
The popular Edmonton sandwich shop Farrow also happens to have a location on this street. It opens at 9 a.m., meaning you can get a breakfast sandwich or stop in for lunch. I couldn’t recommend Farrow more, and it’s a great way to support local.
Great shopping opportunities
There’s more than a handful of cute shops to stop by while you’re strolling along.
For one, there’s The Prints and The Paper, a stationery store with greeting cards, also acting as its own art gallery. Maybe, if you’re more into the witchy side of things, you’ll enjoy Ascendant Books. Here, you can find everything metaphysical, including tarot cards and crystals, and there are even readings most days of the week.
And, for those record fans out there, you can’t forget about Listen Records. This music emporium is one of the best spots to get the most eclectic tunes out there.
A vibrant arts scene
As part of the Edmonton Mural Festival, multiple murals popped up in and around 124th Street, including a multi-artist project by artists Andréa Schmidt, Christina Jackson, SOWL, and Bekay.
“Lovingly called the Cupcake Mural because the stucco finish feels like frosting,” reads the description on the Edmonton Mural Festival’s website. “Frosting that was pink and now is a spectrum of colour.
This particular mural is being torn down in order for the developer to utilize the site. Check it out before it goes!
And, not only does 124th Street house some amazing murals, but it’s also home to the Roxy Theatre.
The original Roxy Theatre was built in 1938 as an Art Deco movie house, but a fire destroyed the original building in 2015. In 2022, it reopened as a theatre and multidisciplinary arts centre operated by the Theatre Network.
Address: 124th Street, Edmonton, Alta.
