Things to do in Edmonton this week: Cariwest, Marigold roof gigs and Quietly Screaming
Cariwest : Vibrating with colour, musical floats and those astronomically gorgeous costumes, the dazzling annual Cariwest parade is one of Edmonton's most joyful couple hours of the entire year! The electric cavalcade runs noon to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, starting at 108 Street and 99 Avenue, running along Jasper, cutting north to Churchill Square on 109 Street. The multi-ethnic pride fest itself is much bigger than this, of course, with the Churchill Square carnival encompassing Caribbean Village, Friday through Sunday.

With a backdrop of music and big-feathered performance on its central stage, there's plenty to eat and drink at this fabulous fête, starting with the 11 a.m. Friday soft opening. Seriously not to be missed! Details : Fri./Sat. 11 a.m. – 11 p.m., 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Sun. on Churchill Square, no charge Quietly Screaming : Saturday is your last chance to check out Guelph, Ont., artist Chanel Desroches' large-scale works over at the newish PRG on 124 Street. Exuberant and compelling, 'as a queer woman negotiating the pressures of public space and personal history,' reads her bio, 'she uses abstraction as a tool of deflection and camouflage. 'Her marks, scribbles, cuts and smudges channel anxiety, sarcasm and resistance.' That all really comes across, each of her canvasses mixing oil painting, oil stick drawing, graphite and other media in a delightful collision of colour and style that exudes vibrancy and conflicting personality traits held together with an absolute style that circles back to the show's paradoxical title. Details : 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tuesdays – Saturdays at Peter Robertson Gallery (10332 124 St.), no charge Marigold Rooftop concerts : Summoning the vibe of the long-lost Latitude 53 open-air patio with a western, Little House on the Prairie Vibe, Marigold Rooftop — MR for short, in honour of recently-passed-away orange tabby Mr. Cheeto — is such a Whyte Avenue sweet spot. With a series of summer gigs before the snow crushes our souls, Saturday night it's the duo bill of grungy folksinger Jordan Norman and master pedal steel player Booker Diduck. Shows keep being announced, including next Friday's in the midst of the Fringe with Carter Felker and the gentle music of Sam the Living. Keep checking Instagram for more bookings at @double_lunch and @marigoldrooftop , and swing by any time after 7 p.m. on industry Mondays and Thursdays to Saturdays for hotdogs, or insanely good food from Bibo downstairs. Details : 7 p.m. Saturday at Marigold Rooftop (10302 82 Ave.), pay what you can Throne of Blood (1957) : Probably my top Kurosawa film thanks to its intense tone and jarring mystical components, this relentless adaptation of Macbeth takes place in Japan's bloody Sengoku Warring States era. With a cold and creepy Noh theatre feel including a couple impossible sets and a creepy metaphorical human spider busy weaving fate, this rather heavy metal morality play grabs you from its misty get-go. Newly restored in 4K, you don't want to miss this, or the also-cleaned up 12:15 p.m. Sunday screening of Kurosawa's 1963 'modern-day' thriller High and Low . Details : 6:45 p.m. Friday at Metro Cinema (8712 109 St.), $14 King of the Hill : After a 15-year hiatus working propane in Saudi Arabia, Hank and Peggy Hill return to an Arlen, Texas, transformed by bike lanes, annoying e-scooters and a pulled-out forest of telephone poles, where conspiracy lunatic Dale Gribble was briefly mayor during the pandemic as an anti-masker until he declared the election results moot. 'That boy ain't right' Bobby is all grown up and facing appropriation flak for his Japanese-German-Texan fusion restaurant, modern-day cultural clashing whirling around the fact the now retired and bored senior Hills are flawed but very decent people trying to make themselves useful in a world gone mad chasing app five-star ratings. More fun than Ari Aster's terrific but very intense Eddington, I tell you what — so check it out! Details : now streaming on Disney+ fgriwkowsky@ @ Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?
