Old Strathcona, Provincial historic district in south Edmonton, Canada

The neighborhood stretches along Whyte Avenue with brick buildings from the early 1900s, local shops, restaurants, galleries, and entertainment venues.

The district began as an independent settlement in 1891, growing into a commercial center after the arrival of the Calgary and Edmonton Railway.

The Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival transforms the district each August with hundreds of theatrical performances across multiple venues.

The Old Strathcona Farmers Market operates every Saturday throughout the year, featuring over 130 vendors selling local produce and artisanal products.

The district includes a restored 1912 streetcar that crosses the North Saskatchewan River on the upper deck of the High Level Bridge.
