A number of Edmonton eateries show off their wares. This event coincides with Capital Ex (formerly the Klondike Days). Each participating restaurants has a booth where it showcases two dishes that can be 'purchased' with tickets. These dishes are small portions and require a various number of tickets, which are purchased at nearby ticket booths. A popular sport is trying to determine which booths give the best value before you run out of either tickets or room in your tummy. If you really want more, check out the restaurant.
AGA
Housed in a bold postmodern building, the Art Gallery of Alberta explores all forms of art. Exhibitions change regularly and there is a particular emphasis on Canadian, Albertan and Indigenous artists. Though you can't touch most of the art works, there is always an exhibit room dedicated to hands-on activities, and family fun events happen regularly. Inside is a good restaurant and a quality gift shop. Free admission Th from 5PM-8PM.
The archives detail in historic photographs, events, statues, clippings of Edmonton in this unique museum.
Chinese and Vietnamese establishments extend along 97 St NW north of 105 Ave NW. Just south of 107A Ave NW is a Chinese arch spanning 97St NW.
Gate of Happy Arrival
This attractive Chinese Gate marked the entrance to an older, southern section of Chinatown, that extends east to Jasper Avenue. (The gate was dismantled in November 2017 to facilitate construction construction of a light rail line to open in 2020.) This section of Chinatown has a few Chinese institutional buildings with Chinese ornamentation, but hardly any eateries.
