Whether you're looking to support local, get the kids out, discover something new or simply spend some time in the community, here's what we've found for you. 👇

🧁 Thursday: Intolerance Sampling Day — 1:00–3:00 PM & 4:00–6:00 PM

A local milestone is worth celebrating. 🎉

GoGo’s Tea & Health is marking one year at its current Leduc location with a Celebration Market featuring local vendors, giveaways and plenty happening around the shop.

The celebration brings together a variety of local makers and vendors, with products including:

🧼 Handmade bath salts & soaps
🎨 Painted rocks, statues & unique creations
🥤 Custom cups, tumblers & gifts
🪨 Herbal products & smooth-stone creations
🕯️ Candles, body care & wellness products
🥖 Baked goods
💎 Bracelets & handmade items
🍯 Local honey
🎨 Artwork & ornaments
🧴 Skin-care products
🎁 And more

There will also be:

🫖 GoGo’s Tea Gift Basket Giveaway

🎁 Vendor Gift Basket Giveaway

💳 The 100th customer receives a $100 gift card

☕ Tea sales throughout the celebration

Anniversaries like this are about more than marking another year.

They're an opportunity to celebrate a local business, discover other small businesses and makers, and bring people together in the community.

If you haven't visited GoGo’s in a while—or you've never been—Saturday gives you a pretty good reason to stop in and say hello.

📍 Leduc Recreation Centre
4330 Black Gold Drive

This one's specifically for youth ages 12–16.

The City of Leduc's House of Teens, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Nisku-Leduc, is taking over part of the LRC Saturday evening with a long list of activities.

🏊 Swimming & skating

🎧 Silent disco

⚽ Fieldhouse sports & mini golf

📸 Photo booth

🎨 Airbrush tattoos

🎈 Inflatables

📱 Free WiFi

And here's the important part for parents:

🎟️ The event is free, but registration is required.

The City lists registration code 21216 and says no walk-ins will be accepted.

Youth also need photo identification showing their picture and first and last name at check-in.

Finding affordable activities specifically designed for teens isn't always easy.

This gives 12-to-16-year-olds a place to get out, have some fun and spend an evening with people their own age—without parents having to buy another expensive ticket.

HOUSE OF TEENS — DETAILS & REGISTRATION

📍 Leduc Fire Hall 1
4119 50 Street, Leduc

Here's one for families—and anyone who's ever wanted a closer look at what happens inside the fire hall. 🚒

Leduc Fire Services is opening the doors at Fire Hall 1 for its Fire Prevention Week Open House.

Visitors can:

👨‍🚒 Meet local firefighters

🦁 Meet Courage, the fire-service mascot

🚒 See the fire trucks

🎨 Take part in crafts

🎁 Enter for door prizes

There is also an optional $5 hot dog, drink and chips combo, with support going to Santa's Helpers.

The City lists the 2026 NFPA theme as:

“Charge Into Fire Safety — Safe Charging is a Superpower.”

It's a fun outing, but there's something useful underneath it too.

Kids get a chance to meet the people behind Leduc Fire Services, while families can pick up practical information that could help keep their homes safer.

📍 Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts
4308 50 Street, Leduc

October wouldn't be October without a little bit of spooky fun. 👻

The Boo Revue! is a family blacklight musical puppet show recommended for ages 4+, with the performance taking place in total darkness.

The Maclab notes that the audience needs to remain seated during the show.

Parents should also be aware that the performance includes:

✨ Bright lights

⚡ Strobe effects

🌫️ Fog effects

🔊 Loud noises

The Maclab describes it as fun for the whole family, but those advisories are worth checking if anyone in your household is sensitive to those effects.

🎟️ Check the official performance page for current ticket information and availability before heading out.
