Of special note is the St. Albert Library’s Apple Tree — actually a repurposed McDonald’s Playland tree from the restaurant’s crazy psychedelic phase.

In the also-in-St.-Albert-Place Art Gallery of St. Albert, Saturday is the last day of Elsa Robinson’s show The Garden, where an event featuring the artist, Edmonton Poet Laureate Shima Robinson, Marty Chan and Tolowa Mollel all telling folk tales and modern stories from around the world happens from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m.

Lots of see and hear, come check it out!

Brahms & Trumpet: Trumpet master Pacho Flores makes his Edmonton Symphony Orchestra debut performing a concerto written especially for him by Arturo Márquez, Mexico’s most celebrated living composer.

Mexican orchestral showpieces Huapango by José Pablo Moncayo and Sinfonía india by Carlos Chávez will also be performed in a program featuring Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 in D Major — which includes the lullaby song.

Carlos Miguel Prieto conducts.

Bonus: D.T. Baker is giving a prelude presentation at 6:45 p.m. on the third floor before the concert.

Here, our little brown buddy bear finds himself sentenced to 10 years in prison, a rather hefty sentence for merely stealing a book (which of course, he did not).

Famously, the film had a 100 per cent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes until some classic jerk trolled it in 2021. See for yourself, and definitely scoot the kids out of there before Anora and Nosferatu show at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Details: 12:30 p.m. at Metro Cinema (8712 109 St.), $14, but kids 12 and under free
