March - The Great Bunny Caper / Egg Hunt
For a bit of fun around Easter, we hold a small community contest for our local children: The Great Bunny Caper. Hidden in the windows of 15 different merchant businesses are 15 little plush bunnies. All of them must be located, listed on the Official Bunny Locater Ballot, then dropped off in a ballot box for a chance to win one of three great prizes.

This has been a fun event (as the bunnies are quite clever at hiding) and the children who come hunting are great fun to watch as they scour the storefront windows.April - Edgemont Village Serves Up Spring Fashion

Summer - Evenings in Edgemont
As surely as summer arrives, so does live music come to Edgemont Village on Friday nights throughout July and August.This joint initiative with the Parks and Recreation Commission has been a resounding success from its first note 9 summers ago. Here, in our extremely beautiful natural setting, we are able to present the sounds of 8 diverse, professional bands for families to enjoy while spending time with their friends and neighbours right in the heart of the village.

Monies are raised via sponsorships from members of the Edgemont Village Business & Professional Association, with the evening’s costs shared amongst them. Attendance at these evenings has grown to average 1200 to 1500 or more; the series finale in August, at which we share the evening with Public Dreams Society and the Wild Lights festival, has attracted attendees of up to 5000.

Fall - Harvest Festival
This free, village-wide street fair sees the community packed with 5000 attendees who come to enjoy a variety of family-friendly, all-day events. From bands on the main stage, to Irish dancers, a ventriloquist, or The Extreme bike show with Dangerous Dan — there’s something for everyone.

Christmas in The Village
Come December, Edgemont Village transforms into a winter wonderland. Each Christmas, we decorate our distinctive, red lamp standards to resemble giant candy canes and light the trees on the street corners and boulevards. Carolers line the streets, Santa makes an annual stop for a day of photos with kids (and pets!) and community contests add to the buzz.

Santa Paws
Once a year, Santa takes a break from the kids and comes to The Village to pose for photos with excited fans of the canine variety—all shot by a professional pet photographer. We took 96 photos of pooches with our fantastic Santa (AJ Lade). Our professional pet photographer did an amazing job — every pet owner was thrilled! We were able to use donated space thanks to Marlene Tate of Trims, who not only gave us her location for the day, but decorated it too (so you know it looked fabulous)! Thanks to everyone who participated.

Christmas Wreath Challenge
At the start of the holiday season, every Village business is invited to decorate a wreath in a way that best reflects the essence of what they do. Wreaths are judged and awarded prizes in five categories. This event makes a terrific community showcase; as people walk through The Village from business to business, they can see our individuality, our uniqueness and our community spirit — all the elements that separate us from the average mall and lend Edgemont Village its cachet.
