The Downtown Business Association has unveiled Edmonton’s most popular downtown patios.

The winners were decided by members of the public in a vote that took place from July 15-Aug. 20.

“Edmontonians love their patios and Downtown boasts some of the best whether you’re looking for a spot with a great view of Edmonton’s river valley or just want to spend time people-watching,” said Ian O’Donnell, executive director of the Downtown Business Association in a written release. “Patios add so much vibrancy and energy to our streets and create places for people to linger with family, friends, colleagues and even your dog.”
