😍 Thinking of getting out tomorrow? Here's a great little mix of things happening at and around the Esplanade:

🏡 Ewart-Duggan House is open
Step inside this beautifully kept historic home and try your hand at some hands-on heritage activities... write with a dip pen, make your own vintage-style calling card, or snap a photo in the antique-inspired booth.

🌿 Outside, the Medicine Hat & District Horticultural Association plant sale will be set up in the backyard, and folks from the Heritage Resources Working Group will be inside the house, chatting with visitors about the work they do.

🎨 Inside the Esplanade, School Art 2025 is on over 800 artworks from local students, full of colour, creativity, and heart. It’s a lovely one to slow down and wander through.

Looking for something different to do Thursday night?

Tonye Aganaba is performing live, and this one’s going to feel special.

The music is a mix of soul, folk, hip-hop, and R&B, but it’s more than just the sound; it’s personal, powerful, and honest. Tonye shares stories about healing, identity, and life through art.

It’s the kind of show that makes you feel connected to the music, and maybe even to yourself.

📅 Thursday, May 15
⏰ 7:30 PM
📍 Esplanade (on-stage concert – up close & intimate)
