A Recap of our Summer
Check out how Alberta Street responded to COVID-19 over the summer months.
From June through September, we celebrated the Summer of Alberta, a season of arts, culture, food & fun to support small businesses, equity & diversity, the arts, and our local community. There were activities for all ages both online & on the ground, with safe social distancing in mind. This included DIY activities, special promotions, and contests for food, drink, shopping and more.

BLACK LIVES MATTER.
Alberta Street has always valued equity and diversity, and this year we will re-focus our efforts, fundraising for Alberta Main Street and supporting small businesses, artists, performers, and musicians of color.
We are working to create more space this summer to support and celebrate our Black community by featuring Black art performances and music along with pop-up and other opportunities to sell food, drinks, crafts and other goods made by those in the BIPOC community. We are also showcasing the Alberta Street Black Heritage Markers and new storefront window displays for organizations that support the BIPOC community located at 1722 NE Alberta St.
