Media Release: Church Street Fair Celebrates History
For Immediate Release
Church Street Fair Celebrates History
Historic Church Street belongs to the ages of Edmontonians who built our City. Generations of immigrants came to Edmonton and built homes, schools and churches. McCauley and Boyle Street were the areas in which they settled. Come “home” to Church Street and enjoy a taste of the past at the Church Street Fair on Saturday, July 12.
Tour local churches and learn about their histories on Historic Church Street. Come for the choirs! Local artisans and businesses will be on the street – come and see the treasures you can find on and around Church Street. There will be a Senior’s Welcome Centre with lemonade and iced tea provided. Children will find fun up and down the street, with face painters, bouncy castle, playground, and musicians. Later, join us on the street for a family friendly, clean and sober street dance!
Festivities begin at noon on Saturday, July 12. Dance at 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Fair Central will be on the street in front of Sacred Heart Church.
The Church Street Fair is sponsored by The Friends of Church Street (founded 2012) and McCauley Revitalization/City of Edmonton.

Church Street Tours/Music
An update to the event on July 14:
Church Street Tours/Music – Sunday, July 14 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.
96 Street from 106 – 110 Avenue
Free community festival with outdoor musical performances and a self guided walking tour.
10 churches – two representatives will be offering information about the history of their church, refreshments and provide a tour, if possible.
The following four Sundays from 1 – 4 p.m., there will also be musicians roving the street and a tour guide available to give out a map and history (the churches may or may not be involved).
Residents and visitors alike will be invited to come together, enjoy music outdoors and a Sunday afternoon walk along a street that is full of the beauty and history of the churches. This is an opportunity for the churches to share their rich history with the public and increase the cooperative work being done among the churches on the street.

Part of 96 Street has been renamed Church Street! Here are the details in the June 2013 issue of Boyle McCauley News.
