Meet friends in Edmonton

Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. This week there's also Karaoke Wednesdays at Hudsons Whyte Ave, The Iconic Jam featuring Ann Vriend and Sunday all-day happy hour at The Buckingham.

Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.

Choose "Staying a while" above: the weekly nights come first, because going back is how strangers become friends. New to Edmonton plans your first month, one week at a time.
