Three to See Edmonton events: P!nk’s carnival, Peace and Unity Fest and Ukrainian art

P!nk: Get this party started on a Saturday night! Surely a contender for the show of the year, American pop-rock superstar P!nk’s dazzling Summer Carnival Tour finally takes over the Elks’ bowl in Edmonton’s last mega concert of the season.

With crazy elements like the smiling singer flying around on high wires, dancing lips and, of course, plenty of pyro and ceaseless choreography, this will truly be a spectacle, following close on the heels of last week’s mind-blowing Metallica shows.

The legendary Sheryl Crow opens up as well as Irish rock band The Script and DJ KidCutUp. The main act tends to start around 9 p.m.

If you just want to be in the same amphitheatre as the show, video-only seats with no view of the stage are $34.85 while verified resale tix start at $80.73.

Details: doors 5 p.m., show 6:30 p.m. at Commonwealth Stadium, $34.85 and up at ticketmaster.ca

Peace and Unity Festival 2024 2.0: Controversially shut down in June, the Peace and Unity Project’s summer fest is back with a rather planetary roster of performers, visual artists and speakers.

Meant as an opportunity for dialogue, collaboration and mutual appreciation for cultures around the world, the fest’s performers include Fiesta Cubana, Tzadeka, Edmonton Fiddlers, Raging Grannies, Wilka Tribe, Sudanese Band, Kita No Taiko and many more.

If you happen to live on Earth, come meet your neighbours!

Details: 3:30 p.m. – midnight at Beverly Heights Hall (4209 111 Ave.), no charge

Ukrainian legacy art: Larisa Sembaliuk Cheladyn’s Legacy Mosaic and ACUA’s Signature Artist Series: Embroidery Tells A Story both explore the history of the Ukrainian diaspora and cultural continuity.

Cheladyn’s team effort celebrates the work of the publication Ukrainian Voice and the imprint Trident Press — both of which shut down in 2018 — with this printing block mosaic work.

The eight-panel Embroidery Tells a Story, meanwhile, focuses on writer, ethnographer, translator, women’s activist and community leader Olena Pchilka’s attempt to preserve authentic ancient Ukrainian folk art traditions.

The opening reception is 6 p.m. Sept. 6, but you can pop by starting 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Details: Sept. 3-14 at Alberta Council for the Ukrainian Arts (10554 110 St.), no charge
